Diawa sv options (no t-wing)

[Lead Head]

Like the title says, what are my options (if any) for a diawa reel with the sv spool and no t-wing? My Google searches have been fruitless so far and I'm hoping some of you guys can point me in the right direction.

SV103

Alpha variants

TD-Z variants

OG steez

Steez LTD/SV

Lots of reels to choose from.

If you’re referring to any of their newer offerings, then you really don’t have any. A new Alphas variant will come out around the time of the classic. It looks nice and has me interested. Tons of older reels will accept a 34mm sv spool though. The sv technology is is just the braking of the spool. The SV103 and SV105 are both discontinued but were nice reels. There is a Steez SV103 that’s also pretty nice but they still pull too much $ imo for what it is. The 1st gen Steez reels are cheap these days and you can put an sv spool in one of those. Same with the Td-z which is the reel that lead to the Steez.

Ok, so nothing newer... probably why I was having so much trouble doing my own searches. Thanks for your help gentlemen.

Just wondering why you don’t want the T? I, personally, prefer a synchronized levelwind.

Why don’t you want the T-wing?

I fish bottom contact baits with a finger under my line and that would most likely push the line up out of the open topped line guide. That and I'm never a fan of unnecessary moving parts. Even if the t-wing gave me a solid 30 extra feet of casting distance (highly doubtful) I wouldn't want it on my jig rod. I skip just ok with a fuego or tournament mb and was wanting to give the sv spool a shot to see if it would make things easier.
