Re: 2021 steez ags rods

Sorry for the confusion I was referencing the new 71m Utility Spin Don't get me wrong the 76 is a fabulous rod, but for me and what i want to throw on a spinning rod I found the tip too soft, now for others especially those up north the 76 will be the one ;) just depends on what you want to do. the ...

Re: 2021 steez ags rods

I can’t comment on the old 7m spinner But I love the new 71 Medium Utility Spin Rod It’s an outstanding spinning rod. One of my favorite spinning rods to date. So much so my second one shows up tomorrow:) As popular as the 76 is from the original I like the 71m Utility rod over it Fits me and what I...

Re: Steez A vs Zillion tw vs Morethan PE 1000 tws

I have the brass gear 8 spped Morethan, steez a and the new Zillions I see no real benefit to get the 7 speed morethan, unless you like the colors. when i can i typically will opt for a brass gear I haven't fished the morethan in a little bit but don't remember it being any smoother than the zillion...

Re: Have you fished the NRX+ BLADED JIG Rod?

Looks like a swing and a miss to me I mean maybe the the little stealth blades in open water but I feel chatters are best in da grass. But if only rated to 5/8 no way is going to sling a 1/2oz chatter with trailer in the hydrilla Im sure super sensitive and light but not what I would choose NRX are ...

Re: Calcutta Conquest 2021...vs...

Thank you bbates3. I really don't need something as large as the 300 and up. 200's ideal...even 100's ok. Not married to the round category, however I do love the way they look. How're those Zillions holding up? Beautiful reel from what I've seen. I've been interested in the Daiwa stuff, and have a...

Re: Calcutta Conquest 2021...vs...

I’ve got the 300 and 400 conquest but my Ryoga feel
More powerful and are easier to retrieve with

Take a look at those if you want a round reel

Re: 2021 steez ags rods

Check out the 71 Medium Utility Spin Handle length is nearly identical to the orginal 76mml 3.6oz in weight Balance is on point with an exist Floats in your hand. The cork is a huge improvement on the spinning models. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51280723355_7f7e700d0d_z.jpg Untitled by , on...

Re: Zillion sv TW 1000

I am also extremely interested in swapping my Steez SV TW gears with the zillion1000. I have both reels, but a bit too lazy to do the test :whistle: If anybody can confirm the compatibility it'd great. Just checked their price on PLAT. Its $100 for the set :shock: Is the new zillion better than ste...

Re: High end rod recommendations

Take a look at the new Steez 73mh It’s super versatile and sensitive Then there is the new 75 Bottom Contact is mh-h but probably a little less versatile. I’ve been fishing the 69 and 73 mh lately and they do a lot Another option might be the new Megabass Dragoon It comes with 2 tips a regular and f...

Re: Megabass P5 Dark Sleeper

Yeah I’d skip the x-bites It’s nice but not powerful enough for me for bottom contact stuff down here and I wouldn’t want to fish it in salt. If you wanted to go p5 line of rods Get the madbull and tequila Baccarac If going Steez 73mh and ??? I dunno though one there 75 or 79 both are amazing would ...

Re: Megabass P5 Dark Sleeper

I wouldn't consider the madbull soft, its powerful with a megabass regular taper. I get it, I probably fish inshore more than freshwater and love high end gear, so since you are fishing in the salt I would personally rule out the dark sleeper. I got rid of mine and my x-bites There is my 73 MH , I a...
