Simple question, I have a steez love it.  I want a DC reel but I like the smaller profile, the steez is perfect.  Are there any DC model reels that compare in size?  

There are none.

 

If Shimano ever DC’s an aldebaran, curado 70, or Met B frame you could maybe get in the ballpark.

 

As of now, the Steez CT is one of the most compact frames out there.

Thanks.  I have a zillion SV TWS, any close to that size?  iF so which one?

The 2021 zillion? 
 

Others can correct me that have more experience but you might want to look at the new 2021 scorpion DC. It’s built on the curado K frame but I believe has the more sophisticated DC internels. I think that would be the current best offer for a compact DC.

 

 

So far I have heard and read 

 

Scorpion DC

Metanium DC

Antares DC.

 

How do these stack up in size?

 

I am looking for something the same size or smaller than a Zillion SV TWS.  Can someone please confirm which of the above is similiar in size?  Which is the smallest?

 

 

I can't speak for the antares DC but none of those others. The CT is awesome and absolutely small. The DC reels are NOT small. When comparing a curado K frame to the steez ct they aren't even close. The CT is WAY smaller.

how does thes compare in size and quality?

Ive never held the new scorpion but it’s supposedly built on the K frame. If so, I’d say that the Met DC is probably going to sit a little lower and feel more compact. The Met is also a fairly light reel for DC standards at around 6.5 ounces I believe.

 

Both reels are getting the I-DC5 which is my favorite DC version. 
 

Quality is going to be difficult to say at the moment. The Mets are built very well. But scorpions have always been better built to me than the Curados we get over here.
