Yeah man great fish!

I caught a couple of 9 lbers the other night too and hooked a third that would have easily gone 12lbs. Only in my case the alarm clock went off and I had to get up and go to work!!!

Man that chatterbait feels wicked through that steez rod. A Chatterb8 feels wicked through a 6' piece of rebar too. :lol: Yeah it almost felt like somebody was hitting me over the head with that rebar every time that thing thumped. :lol: :lol: Liked to vibrated a few fillings loose :D If you've eve...

I was off today and went for a little while this morning. Fished in New River and caught 3 smallies. Two on jig and one, believe it or not, on homemade chatterbait. I was really just checking the action of the bait and one hit it, in 36 degree water no less. Man that chatterbait feels wicked through...

I know you will be pleased with the rods peformance. In 38 degree water one would think that the smallmouth were not hitting the jig that aggressively yet through this rod there was a pronounced "thump" . I set the hook on a couple of rocks too before I got used to the rods sensitivity. Regards DAIW...

Picture of two smallies from 1-13-07

I couldn't resist the temptation any longer and broke down and got a new Steez rod to go along with my reel.
