Man don't I know about how expensive the winters get! Thanks for the pic of all the Steez rods! I have really really been thinking hard about a Steez Megatop for the PX68R.........I think that rod would really be awesome with that reel on top. Matt That does seem like a sweet reel for it!

Here's a current picture of my rods, I have a Steez Mega top and a Steez SVF on its way. Long Minnesota winters get very expensive!

Not jealousy. Big fish on average gear > average fish on amazing gear. Every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Please explain how your average gear outfishes steezy's gear? It doesnt. No matter how many times a week you want it to. If Steezy would have implied his expensive gear catches more fish, how do you think that would go over? If every rod and reel were the same price, nobody here would be talking about Bass Pro reels. IM 6 rods would get igonored rather than celebrated. If my hobby was woodworking or fixing cars I would want the best tools. I fail to see why anyone spending their money, on something they want, is met with such hostility here. agreed

Who ever said it will catch you more fish? Some of us like cadillac's some of us like driving a old beater. Both will bring you to A to B but driving the Cadillac is just that much comfortable to drive. Having had the pleasure to fish some high end reels and rods, do i think that I will catch more fish cause of them? No but its the little things that make fishing that more enjoyable to me and if you want to enjoy the little things dont criticize someone cause you dont see the point. We all have are own opinion on what to spend on a reel and rod, so if someone appreciates the nicer things in life and you dont like it, keep it to your self. We dont care that you fish with a lower priced reel and rod or do we criticize you for having them. Just had to put my .2c in! 8-)

come on guys, those comments are ridiculously rude. Thanks for stepping in five.bass.limit.

How about modified albirght knot

Albright knot

It works great and never had a problem with it but make sure you wet your line good when snugging it up.

I got 1 on a zillion, used to be on my st.Croix LTB jig and worm rod and now I got 2 type R's on my steez rods. ( frog rod and 1 on my jig rod. )

I was wondering if anyone had the chance to give this a try, sounds pretty cool.

Core 51 and Steez 6.3

A 6.X.1 works best for me and personally I like a shorter rod around 6'6" M with a XF tip.

I sent 5 reels to http://delawarevalleytackle.com/ for a little tlc and he did a great job. Would recommend him to anyone.

I prefer them with split grip personally but I there slightly tip heavy but nothing of any real concern.

I also didn't have much luck with those trokar hooks. Going to try something new this year. This will be my first year with braid so ill have to give it a try.

All I can do is

Thanks for the replies everyone!

This will be the first time with recoil guides, I'm not excited by those but it'll be alright

Congrats on the new addition!

Well all of this makes me more excited to give them a try Ill get a couple ordered and ill let you all know how extreme they are!

The 3 rods i kinda had my eye on are the: 6'6" MH, F 3/8-1 7'6" MH MF 3/8 - 1 1/4 7' H F, 3/8 - 1 1/2 They also have a 7'11" MF 1/2 - 2

I appreciate the response, Ive never use the elites so I'm glad to get some knowledge on them to.

LTB series

I was wondering if anyone has used any of these rods? I want to upgrade and see if they rock and im interested in that new 3M they use on them.

As of this winters new rod purchases ill have 8 if im by myself fishing but less depending on how many the other person in the boat has. I dont have a fancy boat so I dont have room to store any so they all have to lay out some where in the boat.
