What's most interesting to me is the titanium tip. I wonder if it'll be oltre-esque :-k

I see that in the spin lineup the 3-10 XF 1/64 -1/4 didn’t make the cut. Pity.

I've been fishing these rods for quite a while now from prototype to final design stage. I'm excited to see these get out there and for guys to start talking about them. The Tackle Trap has them all at the Bassmaster Classic right now so we'll take some photos and post them up on the FB/IG page today.

Are these the same blanks + updated AGS guides and handle?

I’d been looking at getting a couple new rods recently, thought my decision was made but these are intriguing. A few models in particular

Universal light-may be a little too close to my super eiger, but I love that rod so maybe this would make a good buddy for it

Utility player-always interested in new all around rods

The sensor-comparable to the p5 x bites maybe? Sounds like a good tube rod and partner for a steez ct sv. Wonder why this rod is $50 more than the others?

Has SMT, tubular titanium tip. I'm guessing that's what the extra $50 are for

No sir, completely new blanks top to bottom... and new AGS guide ring material. Here are a few photos from our booth at the Classic.

Hi Gary,

Will the original Steez AGS rods still be available or are they discontinued? Daiwa still has them up on their web site.

Thanks

Darrin

Noticed these up on TW's site. They claim this new model is 10% lighter than the previous AGS model. Like the cork, but the lockdown nut is underwhelming. Looks like they took design cues from the new Zodias.
