Daiwa Steez CT70 SV TW

Featured Replies

Hello, fellow bass fisherman; I recently purchased a new reel and was wondering if you guys could assist me in picking the perfect braided line to put on it; I’m looking for a 4LB test (BFS) Bait Finesse System line, preferably P.E. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

The recommendation would be not to go below PE#1 diameter to avoid line dig.  

That said, I've fished PE#0.8 on 3 BFS reels including Daiwa with no problems (and Big fish)

A line I've gone back to lately is Varivas Super Trout Advance Max Power 

easier to link than say - but it's on 2 reels now -

This is threadline, and needs a shallow spool to work best.  I can strongly recommend this aftermarket spool, which has moving SV rotor to solve cast jerk.

The vendor is in Thailand, where Ray's Studio is made.  The reel below is going into 4th (hard) year without a backlash.

I have the JDM version of this reel and @bulldog1935 is correct.  I would stay around PE #1.0. I have been fishing 6 and 8lb FC on my Steez CT with no issues but on some of my other reels, I have fished YGK Upgrade and Varivas Dead or Alive.  Both have held up well.
