STEEZ-100HLA or T3-1016H

Post by wsmith » Sat Nov 17, 2012 10:04 am

I am looking to add a descent cranking setup to my arsenal. I cant decide between the steez100hla or the t31016h to add to a Phenix X-10. Any opinions would be appreciated, thanks.

Out of the box, the T3 1016 will easily cast with or out cast the Steez. The Steez is hands down the winner in terms of refinement, solid feel, and smoothness. I'm a big fan of the casting performance of the T3 models, but there is just something that turns me off about the feel when the "hood" clicks down...

Casting is fine---pitching is where I get that uncomfortable feel.

I like it for pitchin', it's the reengagment that gives me the woolies 8-[
