Hi all,

I am deciding between the two reels:

* Daiwa Steez A TW Casting Reel 

* Daiwa Steez SV TWS Casting Reels

I would like to use the reel for some inshore fishing as well. The Aluminium one seems to be the choice here but I on this Japanese tackle website it seems like  this is also indicated for salt water use: http://japantackle.com/casting-reels/daiwa/low-profile-casting-reels/reg0000195.html

Has anyone had the chance to fish either / both of them?

What ya guys thinking?
 

stick with the steez A, that one's made for saltwater, the SV one is made for freshwater

The link for Japan tackle actually states "not for salt water use". Then gives directions for care with brackish water. Comes off a bit confusing.

 

Either way. I would never bring any of my magnesium framed reels anywhere near salt water, regardless of what the specs say. If you're going to be using it in salt I think it's an easy decision to go with the Steez A.

Even though they say the steez sv tws is ok in salt, I would go with the aluminum steez a.  I keep my mg  reels away from saltwater.
