New Fishing Gear: A Jig, a Reel and Navigation Help
Daiwa's Coastal SV TW 150 is a mid-size reel designed for all-day casting.

For throwing topwater plugs or pitching jigs into tight cover, a baitcast reel is a great tool. Saltwater-grade components and clever performance features are highlighted by Daiwa in the introduction of the 150-series Coastal SV TW (T-Wing) reel. It’s a mid-size reel, designed for all-day casting, but provides a hefty line capacity of 200 yards of 20-pound-test braid. Max drag rating is 11 pounds. The reel is available in both left- and right-hand models, and in 7.1 or 8.1 brass gearing, with 4+1 corrosion-resistant ball bearings. The SV side of it refers to a Daiwa spool design and magnetic braking system optimized to resist backlashing. MSRP: $279.99
