I have an older premier that performs great, but foam knobs, and funky looking color schemes on the new premier? yuck... MGX looks much better...

If not for that "EVA" foam handle i'd be on this reel. Great review Cal. I had the chance to fiddle around with this reel and it is very solid and smooth, and\\\not to mention that it matches well with most outfits.

Awesome! I am digging the "tackle doctor" theme!
One question, how is this knots durability when using micro guides in comparison to regular sized guides?

Great review.

I will be saving up my money for another Steez.

x2 I am going to fish this with one hook. Great article, the guys at Hi's are the bomb!

Great article on a great guy. Met him briefly at Hi's one day, and he was very helpful and informative. I wish him the best of luck, go get those righties Chris!

You are correct. Saw those caught down in central america on some cable show. Thanks!

I wonder how the reviews on the Yamamoto Senko will go...

I want to see which rods will be the top of the line, in terms of sensitivity; especially the NRX vs the JDM rods.
The best lines, especially a fluorocarbon showdown would be nice as well.

Great article Cal, I don't think I have ever read any faster. :lol: The one that got away, is always a tough pill to swallow, but two 17lbers is nothing to cry about. Those pictures of the fish in action are breath taking. Did anyone hook into a Tigerfish while you guys were down there? Once again, ...

Is that you using a RH Z???
