Found a metallic red color at a local hardware store and just painted the knob end caps myself.

I hope so-it's supposed to get down below zero this weekend and stay that way for a few days-yuck! Pray for an early spring.

Thanks guys. I used the combo for jig fishing last season and it's by far the best combo I've ever had. I'm not sure the ZPI spool casts any better than the stock spool, but it's very smooth and performs well for the pitch type casts I generally make. Not sure weight wise if there's any difference. ...

JDM Steez outfitted with red ZPI spool, red star drag and red handle nut retainer, cork knobs and red knob end caps. Goes on the 6'7 Steez rod. Enjoy! Dan

For what it's worth... I recently bought a reel from this seller described as "mint". My interpretation of mint is like new/clean, this reel had way too many small marks/nicks for me to consider it mint. I still feel I got a good reel for the price, I was just a little surprised that the condition d...

I'd have to go with the Steez reels and Flogger. Awesome combo!

I bought a Steez Flogger from Plat and it arrived in a PVC tube and was packed so well I had a hard time getting the rod out! Excellent service, I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him.

Actually the auto paint is cheaper at Walmart and they had the same stuff. I put some tape about an inch below the tip of a pencil and stuck the star drag on i...

Did I read that right-are those Evolution jigs $9.95 a piece? If so, I hope they're northen pike proof.

Just to chime in, Plat's customer service is excellent. I bought a Daiwa Flogger from Plat and was extremely impressed on how well it was packed, PVC pipe, etc. Wouldn't hesitate to order another rod thru him. Dan

I tried the 10 lb test and didn't care for it. It's not clear and has more memory than I like. I'd stick with the PP. Dan

I have the 2506 and have used both 6 lb mono and 6 lb braid. Handles both extremely well. Excellent reel. Dan

Thanks. I'm pretty much at the stripped stage. The other side came off pretty easy, this ones the devil! Thanks Dan
