X10, its more expensive but you dont have to waste money on sharpies and your time coloring the line and its almost silent moving through the guides. Powerpro sounds like a hacksaw moving through the guides.

I tried Daiwa Steez Fluoro 2 times on my Steez reels (Baitcast and Spinning). It seemed stiff to me and did not cast as well and its expensive. I removed it from the reels and sent it back to the vendor and they replaced it with another brand of line so I didnt loose any money just some time. I like P-Line much better. Now for Braid, IMHO theres nothing better than Daiwa Samurai Braid. Some people dont like how soft it is but I like the stoftness, strength and how quiet is it moving through the rod guides, its basically silent. Very expensive.

The GLX was made for a Steez 8-)

I've selected the blank & components and purchased 2 custom rods. They are worth every dollar ! Pros: They fish better than my high end Steez and GLoomis GLX rods. I get exactly what I want in a fishing rod (blank, reel seat, guides. grip) Price could be competitive if you stick to the basics. Cons: Long wait times for blank and components. Very expensive if you go high end. If warranty is a big issue then I dont receommend a custom. The blank mfg may warranty the blank but you still have to deal with the cost of the rebuild and replacement components.

Both the Daiwa Steez and Shimano Core50 are made from Magnesium, these reels weigh 5.5 oz compared to most baitcasters that weigh 8-9 oz or more. Doesn't get much better than that! 8-)

The Daiwa Samurai will hold the color, is soft and quite moving through the guides.

Exactly !

I was also having that problem, thanks for the tip !

All Braids are NOT noisey, just some of them. Daiwa Samurai Braid is almost slient. PowerPro and several others sound like a saw moving through the guides, I can only imagine what its doing to the guides.

I wanna fish with this guy !

You're gonna love that reel !

Thats the problem, you're working and we're fishing. Steezy, post up a pic with your updates if you have any! No way, the flames are still burning from the last gear post. :-X The current count after the latest purchase/sell/trade is: 8 Daiwa Steez casting rods 1 Daiwa Steez spinning rod 1 Loomis GLX rod 1 Otterods/NFC custom rod 10 Daiwa Steez Baitcaster reels 1 Daiwa Steez Spinning reel 1 Daiwa Pluton casting reel Next purchase will be a Loomis NRX casting rod and a Daiwa Steez megatop spinning rod and another Daiwa Steez spinning reel. Somebody please help me convince my wife I need a boat. 10 Steez reels and no boat?? Hmm...... I have friends with boats. 8-)

x10 on the Diawa Samurai but I use 70# There is NO better braid.

Ive tried the Sebile 105 swimbait and the Huddleston 3 3/4" weedless grass minnow swimbait and the huddleston will catch 10 times more fish. It has the most natural action when it swims. The Huddleston 3 3/4" weedless grass minnow at $7 each is a bit pricey but well worth it. I use a 7' MHF for the Huddleston 3" & 4" and the Sebile 105 swimbaits. The Hudd is 7/16 oz. I would probably recommend a HF or XHF if you plan to throw anything heavier.

6'8" - 7' MF or MLF depending on the brand.

That last rod pictured is a Matt Davis Otterod. I would recognize that handwritten script on the blank anywhere. Looks just like my NFC custom that Matt built.

Flying on a private jet even faster to even more lakes to catch even more fish. That is really how it works.

I did not know there was a steez cane pole. Its actually a JDM rod called a stane.

I can catch a fish on a cane pole and no reel.

Ahhh, Steez, often imitated but never duplicated ! Com'on where are the bashers, its a 5.4 oz lightweight reel that costs a boat load of $$$. Heaven forbid someone enjoy a little pleasure while fishing with something nice. 8-) 8-) 8-)

Impossible to answer, there is a fit for each one. If I have to pick an one , its both.
