Daiwa’s Steez EX 100XS offers a Deadly Combination of Both Speed and Precision



Introduction: So often achieving speed requires sacrifices in refinement but every once in a while a product comes around that strives to achieve both. Daiwa’s Steez Series has long been the benchmark of ultra lightweight magnesium baitcasters and the latest addition to the premium lineup is the 100XS which delivers a blisteringly fast 7.9:1 gear ratio in an ultra sleek form factor that weighs in at only 5.8 ounces. Does this reel really deliver the best of both worlds or are enthusiast anglers best served holding on to their hard earned dollars?

Great review. I liked that the review pointed out the speciality (not just the price point exclusivity) of the Steez and where it can fit in someone's arsenal. Focus for many of us equate the most expensive as the "best choice", rather than what is actually "best suited" for the task at hand.

Love the review but can some please explain to me how 5+5+5+5=19?

I'm glad I wasn't the only one to notice the math issue lol.

Thanks guys, sorry for the typo. The final number was correct in the matrix as well as the final ratings matrix, just had a typo in the tabulation box. Edited and didn't change the scoring, thanks for the heads up.
