Easiest-to-cast baitcaster I have ever used. If you struggle with backlashes, especially when throwing lighter lures, I don't think you can beat this. I have never used a Metanium but I can't see it being better than the Steez.

Comes a pretty hefty price tag, but you're paying for the quality in my opinion. You simply don't get smoother than this and casting is an absolute pleasure. Been throwing weightless soft plastics without any thoughts of a bird's nest.

Bottom Line

Overall the Steez A TW is a casting reel that has only ever racked up positive reviews. The reel uses the latest in spool technology to provide anglers with great casting distance, without having the threat of backlash.

This is a strong, lightweight, versatile, and comfortable reel and is guaranteed to be any baitcaster-enthusiast's dream. This is however an expensive option. It might be worth checking out a member of the Tatula series before considering the Steez A TW, such as the Tatula Elite.
