Trey Harpel Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Finally got here as I finally snagged this Limited steez... Man its a sick reel and I cant wait to use the 8.1.1 for pitching jigs... Going to be paired up with my DX745 and 20-25lb Abrazx or Tatsu... I swapped out the Black knobs for some corks just to see how they looked... I might be upgrading the spool bearings to BOCA ABEC 9s.... 9 Quote
Super User Sam Posted January 7, 2015 Super User Posted January 7, 2015 Oh My God, Trey! My dream rig - Steetz rod and reel for jig fishing. Probably set you back close to $1,500 if not more. Congrats. May you have many hours of fun and some wonderful memories with your new setup. Quote

Super User lmbfisherman Posted January 7, 2015 Super User Posted January 7, 2015 Nice combo for you..congrats. However the handle is on the wrong side and since I love Shimanos...the reel is all wrong too. Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted January 7, 2015 Super User Posted January 7, 2015 Nice combo. I can't imagine owning a 1500 dollar combo. I'd be afraid to take it out. Quote
Djf3864 Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Lovin' the new reel just can't say the same for those corks you threw on it. Quote
Trey Harpel Posted January 7, 2015 Author Posted January 7, 2015 It wasnt 1500$....dont know where that came from...lol Quote

Super User Goose52 Posted January 7, 2015 Super User Posted January 7, 2015 Nah, it's on backwards...lol. And if that's plastic I see on that rod handle, Goose is gonna get ya for that. Nice setup. Hootie Yep - it ain't a genuine fishing combo until the plastic wrap and labels are removed, line is on the reel, and its been on the water and got slimed up a bit... NICE looking reel for sure though! 2 Quote
Super User Tywithay Posted January 7, 2015 Super User Posted January 7, 2015 Nice combo. I can't imagine owning a 1500 dollar combo. I'd be afraid to take it out.You can buy the combo for roughly $800. Quote
