The Steez Reels ARE worth EVERY penny.

That's a sad picture, right there. Dang. Parents will probably sue McDonalds, too. :-[

Wife got me a Steez103 for Christmas. It'll be interesting to see how it compares to my Core, Calais DC and Premier's. My first Daiwa baitcaster in many years. I'm not really expecting to be all that impressed, for some reason.

[Redlinerobert]

103 is a fantastic reel.  I think you'll really like it.

"Welcome to McDonald's, may I take your order?"

" Yeah, I'll have two Big Macs, A large fries, supersize that please, and a DIET coke."

[Scorcher214]

I haven't been here in a while. Good to get a laugh.

[The Rooster]

Man that's really sad.  That kid looks inflated.

[BassThumb]

Way to go!  That's how to squash a blatant troll thread.

[Jimzee]

Hey Steezy, I'll be on the road trip, can I borrow one of your Steez reels for the day?  If I like it maybe I will get one.

Wasn't meant to squash no one.  Steezy's a good guy, just meant it as a joke.

All you have to do is ask me nicely.

LMFAO!!!

Awesome.

[Bassn Blvd]

I don't think Steezy was trying to show off, but I'm in the same boat as him.  Except it's with Loomis.  I'm to the point where I won't even look at rods if they're not Loomis.  And if I do, then I immediately compare them to Loomis. It's a sad situation, but I don't care :.

You might not like it Speed, The combo weighs only 7 ounces, but the custom made flotation device attached to it while its out on loan weighs 4 pounds. ;D ;D

[5bass]

I invite any that has a doubt to attend the roadtrip outing and I will gladly loan* you a Steez combo for a day.

I have fished the Steez rods and reels before so I'm good. I'm just wondering what the security deposit is.

I recall your review of the NRX rods. Hopefully we can do a

head-to-head comparison of the Steez vs the NRX at Kentucky

Lake this spring.

How 'bout Steez on Steez vs NRX/ Core 50MG; Steez/Core

vs NRX/Steez? Should be interesting.

The Steez Reels ARE worth EVERY penny.

I know for sure and I own 10 of them.

I know there are some equal and/or better rods (I also own GLX and an OtterRods NFC custom) but when you pair a Steez reel and a Steez rod its a combo that's hard to beat.

Anyone that doubts that has NEVER fished with one.

Not a big fan of the Steez SVF graphite rods anymore. Still great blanks but to me the quality control has gone down over the years or I've just been unlucky.

The Steez SVF Compile-X, though more expensive, is what I come to expect out of the Steez line of rods even though one can argue that the difference in sensitivities between the two are at best marginal.

But I concur, a steez, or any high end reel for that matter, strapped on custom rod on a NFC IM or HM blank built by a really good rod builder is pretty much almost as good as it gets for a high end tackle junkie in terms of feel.

You should look into the "IS63 lariat" or "IS73 competition" being steez aficionado if you haven't already.

Your Dog, I figure that's probably a guys most valuable possession.

Steez reel on an NRX rod, sounds sweet to me. Its awesome on a GLX so I expect something great !

You are correct chasiubao73 , the complieX series is the best of the steez rods.  I only wish they made more choices in that model.  The complieX spinning rod is one of my favorites.

I use great gear, PM me for details.

Hmm, I had a long post typed out to responde to this but decided it's all been said already and likely said better than I could've.  Enjoy your "great gear" steezy.   :

The 7'1 Heavy paired with Zillion Type R is currently my go-to jig set up. I just wish it was longer like between 7'4 to 7'6 but not as long as the 8' Heavy model. I'll probably replace it with the MB 667-1 NFC custom once it's completed.

Kind of like when you used to have to get the key to the bathroom at a gas station- the key, a hunk of chain, and a 15" chevy rim. ;D
