Daiwa steez 2004 vs megabass luvito 103

[Megabass]

which one takes the cake. as either one is gonna be my next reel and it's a fair bit of coin to part with.all pros n cons plz

[beechey]

steez for sure as said before a luvito is just a luvias blinged out! steeze looks way better anyway.

[Megabass]

Cheers beechey.just chasing as much info as I can get

[Ado]

Definitely the Steez. All the Luvito is good for is the bling factor, that's it.

[TheChief]

Can't comment on the Luvito but I Have a couple of 2004 Steez's and a 2508 Steez and they are pretty damn good. Although I have a 2506 Megabass Caiyen and that is heaps better than a Steez. Like it's not just a "Blinged Luvias" Although it may look like a black Luvias with a Exist spool and a different handle, there's a difference in performance. BIG difference!

Really depends on what you are after, value for money go with the Steez. If money isn't a issue get the Megabass. What rod is it going on? I'd get the 2506 size over the 1003 personally (depends on the rod though)

The steez is a better reel hands down, but it's not like the luvito is a useless piece of crap either, It's still a good reel. And like The Chief said it depends on what rod you're putting it on.

What's the difference between the Luvito and the Caiyen internally? Probly none, just a different spool and handle I'm guessing. That's why I'm struggling with the argument the Steez is hands down better. I have a almost brand new 2508 Steez and the Caiyen is much better...

I'm not sure I've never fish with a Luvito, I might just have to buy one. Anyone wanna sell me a Luvito???? (seriously)

Hey GLX get a IDATEN 100. Seriously the sexiest bit of gear going around!!!!!!!!

EDIT: Well I did find the Luvito weighs more (spool I rekon) and has 2 less bearings. Hardly enough to make a big differnece.

IDATEN....



The LIN ain't to shabby either....

Gear ratio, size and bearings perhaps? Even my Racing Condition isn't as smooth as a steez?

If you can find an Idaten 100 then I applaud you. You'd have to search Jap auctions to find one. They are just about the sexiest reel ever though.

Steez.
mb for their rods and lures.
Daiwa for reels and rods

Gear ratio is the same for a 2506 Caiyen and Luvito. I think the Caiyen is lighter because of the spool and Zioan handle. It has 2 more bearings, dunno where though?

Dunno how your RC isn't a smooth as a Steez....

[STELLA BOY]

I own the luvito,td_z ito 2506c, lin 258, racing condition 256. for light work cant go pass the racing heaps smoother than my exist 2004. I wouldnt go a luvito over a steez! the luvito a really poor built reel and a waste of money! I hardly use it anymore theses days. Ill go a steez 2506 or a racing condition 256.

It's a very subtle difference between the rc and the steez. The rc has a heavier feel than the steez, mind you I am comparing to a 256 to a 2004. I think there's a difference in the physical size of the gears between the different models, because they all feel different. The caiyen also has a larger body than the rc as the rc is a compact body, so yeah the gears would be different.

My son's Jarvis Walker K-mart special will be going long after all your blinged up show ponies have been stolen out of your cars/boats/houses!

I would personally hunt down and execute any man, woman or child who so much as looked at my gear sideways.
