Which Steez A II TW sizes share the same body?
Sizes that print the same spool dimensions and max drag in Daiwa Japan's table are grouped together. Within a group, the size code mostly changes the gear ratio (and sometimes handle or weight). This is our grouping from the official figures, not a Daiwa frame definition, and it says nothing about whether parts swap.
| Sizes | Spool | Max drag | Weight | Gear ratios | US SKU |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1000, 1000H | 34 mm dia. / 24 mm width | 6 kg | 190 g | 6.3–7.1:1 | – |
| 1000XH | 34 mm dia. / 24 mm width | 5.5 kg | 190 g | 8.5:1 | – |
