“It hits that sweet spot in the middle,” said DAIWA Field Marketing Manager, Chris Martin, about the COASTAL SV TW 150’s not too big, not too small stature. “The new ergonomic 100 size frame feels comfortable and secure in the hand, while the 150 capacity spool provides added line capacity.”
“DAIWA developed it for the Gulf Coast market, but the COASTAL series has been finding fans on the Pacific and Atlantic coasts, too,” continued Martin. “Whether the angler is trying to pitch mangroves, place a precision cast for tailing reds, or sink a swimbait between dense lanes of kelp stringers, the reel’s T-Wing system helps accurately place those casts.”
“This is a true saltwater grade reel; the corrosion resistance ball bearings (CRBB) remain smooth trip after trip. Combine that with the high-strength brass gearing and all the angler needs to do at the end of the day is rinse it with freshwater and they’re good to go.”
Martin likes the COASTAL SV TW 150 for the popular class of midsized lures, which, truthfully, compose over half of what’s hanging on the pegs. “It’s an ace for swimbaits, jigs over ¼-ounce, hard jerkbaits, and topwaters.”
Whatmore, Martin says the reel’s SV TECHNOLOGY does what other baitcasters can’t: manage the Cirque du Soleil cartwheels when throwing popping cork rigs. “The SV Spool and magnetic braking combine to absorb the surge when casting a popping cork, and as a result, prevent the reel from backlashing. It’s awesome in action.”
Make DAIWA’s COASTAL SV TW 150 your new midweight baitcasting champ. And if you’re still repurposing freshwater reels for the salt, this is your opportunity to take the blue water plunge.
