Re: Is the new Zillion the best reel made in a decade?

I like the Daiwa steez sv tw and the steez A. They just palm better to me. Plus I like the brake dial being on the side of the palm plate.

Re: JDM Expride B 6'10 Casting

I would think the US version is the same but just glued into the handle. Has anyone confirmed this? I am about to order a couple from Japan. Do not want to wait until the fall and coukd save some money.

Re: Steez AGS 72H

Thanks for the reply! What reel do you have mounted on the rod, where is the balance point? Thanks again! I have a Steez A on mine. Balance point is right at the nut. I do not like a magnesium reel on this rod. It needs a aluminum frame reel. It is one incredible rod. It is crazy sensitive. You can...

Re: Steez AGS 72H

How would you rate sensitivity? I had an 854 NRX for roughly 12 minutes and it is clearly more sensitive than that rod was lol. For a pretty powerful rod, it is impressively sensitive in my hands. I think it is a standout in the line. Thanks for the reply! What reel do you have mounted on the rod, ...

Those wont work on most of the OG Daiwa reels. The drive shaft is too short to allow any drag range. TDZ, Alphas, OG Steez is a no go.
The Steez SV 103 has has the nut and spring drag star. Maybe it will work.

Re: Older Certates still worth it?

I ordered my 4th current model Certate two weeks ago via Japan Amazon. Had a chunk of Discover points. They are just phenomenal reels for the price. The older versions are nice, but not the same in my experience. I’d say $200 or less, otherwise watch for a good price around or under $400 for a curr...

Re: 2021 steez ags rods

Speaking of the Target Sniper, does it fish like a traditional medium heavy, or perhaps a little bit lighter? I see people seem to prefer 3/8 oz jigs with it. I'm debating between this, the new 6'10 medium Poison Glorious, and perhaps the Gan Craft Killers Blood Lick model. Both of those rods are r...

Re: 2021 steez ags rods

Not sure what the cork issue is being described but sounds like someone sealed the cork on yours with something other than U40. Did you get sent a new rod with wrap on the handle or is it possible you received someone's returned rod? I have a couple in the spinning line and the cork is perfect. Lit...

Re: 2021 steez ags rods

I just picked up one of these new Steez rods. I am not impressed and I have not even fished it yet. Some pretty poor grade cork on this rod. Plus the cork handle smells like someone dunked it in a barrel of varnish/solvent. Completely unacceptable for a $550 rod! Balance and weight is good but I ag...
