Out of Control? - Daiwa Steez's Real Control Enthusiast Rods
Introduction: Daiwa's Steez rods are widely regarded as the brand's flagship series, but the Real Control lineup elevates both performance and price to unprecedented heights. As the first Steez rods to retail for $1,299 in the U.S., they raise a critical question: Are they truly worth the investment, and who would be willing to purchase such a premium offering?
Picked up the 6'8" MH spinning rod last June and the 7' MH casting rod a month ago. Both are excellent sticks. Trying to decide between the 7'3", 7'1" or 6'11" jig rod next.
The price for sure is out of control.
If 10 years ago I shocked some people by telling my combo cost over one grand, now some top of the line combos will exceed $2000 price point.
