In this video, Daiwa SS AIR TW: Real World Testing (Skipping, Pitching and Casting) (BFS Fishing), Hobie-Wan Kenobi uses the new Daiwa SS AIR TW in a variety of fishing scenarios to test the SS AIR TW ability to skip, pitch and do other close-range techniques for BFS fishing for bass.

I used the Daiwa SS AIR TW for about two months before making this video. The SS AIR TW has performed quite well and has been my most used BFS reel recently for bass fishing.
The Daiwa SS AIR TW does perform best in typical finesse bass BFS fishing situations. The braking system is designed as such and not really optimized for super light lures such as a Trout Magnet or other really lightweight lures.
For the rod, I used the Cashion Icon BFS for most of my testing. I did use the Phenix Classic BFS and also the Dobyns Sierra Series for bass fishing. The Phenix Classic BFS loaded very nice on the cast with weightless bass plastics but, lacked the power needed to pull fish from under docks. The Dobyns Sierra Series 701c was better but, I still felt better with more power.
The open water performance with the Daiwa SS AIR TW I did not really talk about but, it will cast Ned Rigs and other lures just fine. I would prefer the Gekkabijin or Aldebaran BFS for those techniques but, The SS AIR TW can do it.
From Daiwa Japan:
The compact body inherits the fearless appearance of black × red and is equipped with the brake system "SS MAGFORCE" born from a completely new idea and DAIWA technology, which has been well received in recent years. After 10 years of evolution, the revolutionary machine of the DAIWA Bait Finesse Reel was born here.
There are two main points of evolution. The newly developed brake system "SS MAGFORCE" provides unprecedented castability, and the standard installation of TWS and Hyperdrive DESIGN raises the level of basic performance.
The new braking system not only improves stability but also contributes to the downsizing of the body. The body design and brake settings were designed by Yukihiro Sawamura, K.T.F., the father of Bait Finesse. It achieves a high level of both pitching and casting, which is the most important in fishing grounds that practice bait finesse. Of particular note is the extremely stress-free and stable castability emitted from the compact form. It can be said that this is a new frontier reached by the synergistic effect of DAIWA, which has been refining its magnet brakes for many years, and Mr. Sawamura, who looks at the frontline sites every day.
