I think I'll be adding a Steez AGS 76 M/ML to my collection too.

Yup. Reel is cool doesn’t do the rod justice though.

That's the Steez rod I've heard the most positive stuff about. I would personally go NRX or Conquest for that coin but that rod I heard has a really nice action. (Could be the shorter dropshot rod but either way heard they were nice sticks)

yup, I've heard some mixed things about the Steez AGS. I was about to get it 2 years ago until a lot of people were saying the NRX is better, more sensitive, balances better. etc. I ended up with the NRX 852s a few years ago, and now just because it's winter and I'm bored, what better thing to do than to sit here and browse this forum to come up with a list of more stuff I dont need :lol:

seems to be the annual trend around this time for me

Thank you. It's the most balanced rod I own. The handle is actually very functional. Fun to fish.

Gorgeous sir. Being a spin/smallie guy I probably just need to cut to the chase and add a couple. Thanks for the motivation.

OG Daiwa Steez STZ 681MLFSA Compile-X paired with an OG Steez 2508 or 2500
My first "high-end" rod (2008) and I still love it!
This Compile-X rod is extremely sensitive in my hands and able to handle fish.
Caught my previous personal best, 7.98#, with it.

Conquest 902S paired with a Shimano Stella 3000FE
Fished the Conquest side-by-side with my NRX 902S for a couple of months.
The Conquest lives up to the positive reviews; as sensitive as the NRX
with better casting (distance and precision) and fish handling even thought it is feels lighter than the NRX.

Just picked up a 6'10ML from Gary at TT...it was in stock for about 8 hours lol. Any chance you have that one to compare to the 7'L? The 610ML, fwiw, is exactly what I'm looking for in a finesse spinning rod, 4 - 6lb line.

And I see a lot of Stellas paired to Exprides in Japanese videos...seems to be their workhorse rods over there.
