I made an offer below asking and to my surprise they said cool
Going to try and make an sv light out of a Steez full size

At least in my head.

This is exciting, as I just ordered my 1st Evergreen stick. I'll be comparing the transmission vibes against the new Glorious, Old X7, and K2.

Nice! I haven't had that happen yet lol.

You could probably get some 34-32mm spacers and swap in an SV Light spool. That would look stellar in a SteezTN Ltd.

Great combo. I’ve had a wide variety of what would be considered similar class JDM/USDM rods (heavy plastic/jig rods) and I’d agree with your sentiment on the Rapid Gunner.
That rod doesn’t get the attention it deserves.

A little off topic, but how would you rate your Efreet against this, and some of the other high end rods you have?

I hadn’t forgotten about your question. Been extremely tied up with things , funerals , kids college, work just life I guess. I just have not had time to breathe. I had to make a point to go out just to collect my thoughts and I was able to get the two on deck

Well, after hearing your thoughts on the rod's sensitivity....I must try an evergreen. Is the weight of these rods mostly in the handle? I'm lookimg at the 6'9" mh rs insparare. I wouldn't call it a pig(125g), but I can't ignore that it weighs about what my 7'6"H Glorious weighs (126g).

I wouldn’t get hung up on the Evergreen rod weights too much, at least on their high end lines. They add balancers into the handle builds and you can see them if you look close. There are lots of lighter rods out there but you’d be hard pressed to find this level of refinement and balance in another big brand rod builder.

My 5.3 oz Legit Designs Wild Side 72H+ has taught me that rod weight is a useless metric when looking at rods online. That rod feels like its 15 oz when holding it by the reel seat.
