Daiwa 25 Steez LTD CT SV TW 70XHL

Daiwa 25 Steez LTD CT SV TW is a high-end baitcasting reel from Japan, purpose-built for finesse fishing with small lures around 5–30 g. With an ultra-light magnesium body and a 30 mm G1 Duralumin spool, it delivers effortless, long and controlled casts with light hardbaits, softbaits and small jigs, while staying extremely comfortable in the hand all day.

Inside, the reel is based on Daiwa’s HYPER DRIVE Design, which keeps all internal components perfectly aligned for maximum power transfer and durability. Hyper Double Support means the pinion shaft is supported by two ball bearings, giving an almost friction-free, very quiet and silky-smooth rotation and improved feel when working your lure or playing a fish. The CNC-machined HYPER DRIVE DIGIGEAR main gear is built for long life, even under hard use with modern braided PE lines.

With a high gear ratio of 8.5:1 and about 80 cm line retrieve per handle turn, this is the fastest reel in the CT family – ideal when you need quick line pick-up for active fishing styles, such as twitching, jigging or fast power fishing in tight spots. The T-Wing System (TWS) has been optimised for the Ultimate Casting Line Guard concept by changing size and angle, which reduces friction at the levelwind and helps you reach greater casting distances, especially with thin braided lines.

The Ultimate Casting spool design with G1 Duralumin significantly reduces total spool weight and start-up inertia, making it much easier to cast very light lures precisely. The Ultimate Casting magnetic brake with SV Boost System uses a two-step inductor engagement to stabilise the spool: it gives excellent casting distance while reducing the risk of overruns and tangles. Thanks to this advanced brake system, you no longer need to fine-tune the mechanical spool tension; all relevant settings are done via the magnetic brake. The UTD Air Brake drag system offers smooth, reliable drag performance and features a click sound when line is pulled – useful both when fighting fish and when adjusting drag on the water.

Completed with an aluminium handle, 12 CRBB ball bearings, finely adjustable star drag with click and left-hand retrieve, the Daiwa 25 Steez LTD CT SV TW is a premium choice for anglers who want maximum finesse performance in a compact, ultra-light baitcaster made in Japan.
