Kicking myself
In the US, if you are making the purchase they are required to honor the price. If you are just asking about the item or price they can change it. However any seller can refuse to sell you anything.

Daiwa Steez Reel Question
Whats the line cap of the pixy compared to the steez ? I dont think the pixy will hold as much line or as heavy a weight of line as the steez. 100HA - 14/120,16/100 103HA - 12/120,14/100 100SHA - 14/120,16/100 103SHA - 12/120,14/100

Daiwa Steez Reel Question
OK, I'll bite. fathom, what identfier should I look for on the spool? According to daiwa customer support, all steez reels use the Magforce®-V braking system. I will be calling them back on Monday.

Daiwa Steez Reel Question
I also own several Shimano Core 50 MG reels and there is a difference other than price. In my opinion, the Steez is smoother operating and has a more solid precision feel than the Core 50. The core is still and great reel and a great vaule for the price. I recommend a Core 50 on a Loomis GLX rod and A Steez on a Steez rod. BTW, the Core 100 weighs 6.1 oz, Core 50 5.5 oz. None of the Steez reels weigh more than 5.7 oz. Specs (model,ratio,linecap,weight): 100HA 6.3 14/120,16/100 5.6oz 103HA 6.3 12/120,14/100 5.5oz 100SHA 7.1 14/120,16/100 5.7oz 103SHA 7.1 12/120,14/100 5.6oz

Daiwa Steez Reel Question
I own the Steez 103SHA, 100SHA and the 100HA. They ALL use the same brake system , Magforce®-V. The HLA is the left hand version of the 100HA & 103HA. Theres NO left hand version of the SHA. Specs (model,ratio,linecap): 100HA 6.3 14/120,16/100 103HA 6.3 12/120,14/100 100SHA 7.1 14/120,16/100 103SHA 7.1 12/120,14/100 If you are planning on a GLX rod, for close to the same $$$ you could put that steez reel on a steez rod. It makes for a sweet combo.

Winter Bass in Texas
It was 38 degrees this morning at 7am in Dallas,TX and still managed to catch several 2 # LMB as well as a 3# baby. Caught all of them 7-7:30am on a silver/blue rat-L-trap. in 3-5 feet of water except for the big one and he was in 8" of water. I though I made a bad cast into the shallows but he hit it as soon as the lure hit the water. Who said Bass don't bite in the winter !

I checked all the Academy Sports near me this week and none had that deal. I told a clerk about it and he said it had to be a mistake.

How bout them Cowboys!!!!!!
X6555215966525318 Spoken like a 2-6 Skins fan. ;D They (cowboys) actually suck 10^1000 times. Romo has never and probably won't ever win a playoff game that is if he ever even gets to play another playoff game. Spoken like a true patriots fan of the only team to ever win 18 games in a single season. Stuff it giants fans, I know you beat us but that was a fluke, look at the giants now!

Fishing rod weight and "perceived stoutness"
Maybe with the less expensive rods the added weight might bring something to the experience but with the high end rods the weight of the rod is a non issue. Pick up a shimano cumara, loomis glx or steez and hook a fish and you will see the weight of the rod (or lack of weight) doesn't lessen the experience. This post is not knocking any rods!
