this. Only spinning reels I use now. I have 4. ?? where do the Miravels rank or what are they comparable too??

thanks for the reply. I have a 21 zillion and love it. Was my main reel last season. I just got a 22 zillion HD that I haven’t tried yet. Just wanted to dip my toe in the steez water to see what it’s all about. Curious really. But if it’s not too far off from the 21 zillion then maybe not. Not for the $180 difference. LoL. Was hoping to hear it would just blow it out of the water but at the same time I was hoping to not hear that… if that makes any sense?? ??‍♂️

For those that have the new steez and have the zillion sv. Do you find the steez worth it and a step above the 21 zillion sv? Or is the 21 zillion so good that it doesn’t make sense to pay extra for a steez??

It happens. Good excuse to upgrade them now. ??

Fantastic rod. Love it.

The Poison Adrena is made in China and it’s a fantastic rod. I think the tatula LT being made in China is pretty irrelevant as a reason for not wanting it. The Stradic looks like a better match on the rod anyways and I enjoy the Stradic over the tatula LT so much that I got rid of my tatula LT reels and picked up 3 more Stradic reels.

I actually prefer the older model over the newer model. You should give it a go. You won’t be disappointed. I got rid of my newer model in favor of the old ones.

I use a Stradic fl 2500 on my victory 73mxf. Love it. They pair up well. Also use a 3000 on an evergreen 7’1MH and a 1000 on st croix panfish series 6’9 UL. ??

The brakes lock on that spool. You can see the 2 top ones are locked in and one bottom. The little lip at the end on the brake locks under the little lip on the spool.

Why not one of the new Daiwa tatula XT rods?

The Okuma TCS frog/swimbait rod is a really nice frog rod. I just picked up the Megabass Levante perfect pitch for frogs his year and I’m really impressed with it.

Good selection of rods. That Okuma TCS frog rod is amazing. I feel it can do so much and I’ve used it for so much. Makes an excellent chatterbait rod. It’s my fav rod. Always curious on the new version but keep hesitating to pull the trigger. That Scott Martin version is just perfect. Good luck on your hunt for a new rod.

This. ??

I’d be surprised if that were true. At least up in Canada their customer service is A+.

Place in your here in Canada. Buy any 2 rods and 3rd is free. I was just eyeing only the victory series. I unfortunately won’t be home from work in time to take advantage of this in store sale. ? Nice!

I was thinking of 7’1 MH as an all round rod. I was eyeing the 7’4 H for frogs and thicker stuff and then a spinning just to have another. Probably the 6’10 ML. I don’t need these rods just want to get them so try out the victory casting line. But with a deal of buy 2 and get 1 free. I might as well take advantage. so essentially that’s why I was asking for opinions on the top must get. for cranking I don’t do that too much. I have the evergreen jackhammer rod for chatterbaits and crankbaits that I enjoy a lot.

Hey everyone. I’m thinking I’m going to pick up a few st croix victory rods. Im looking at 2 casting and 1 spinning. For those that have time with them. What are the top must have rods in casting and spinning? One I was eyeing was the 7’1 MH (the grunt) and I already have the 7’3 MXF spinning. thanks for all the input and have a great day.

That looks fantastic. I have the 5.5 and I love that reel. It’s a joy to fish. I use it more than my zillion g. ??‍♂️

Anyone try the ALX Toadface for frogging??

It was built by the hands of god and brought down to earth by angels. Once you get one in your hand. You’ll understand. Not winning this one. Just give in and feel the greatness of the new zillion.

21 Zillion SV.

Yeah. Sounds about right. I liked the Gen 3 stx and the Gen 4 SX is good. I really liked the MGX2 as well.

Gen 4 STX and Premier. Of the 2 of each I had. Did not like. I just got unlucky probably.

I had one. It was bad. Returned it for another. Just the same. Returned that. I don’t know what it is about the STX but it wasn’t a good reel. I had a premier as well and same thing. But the X, S and SX I enjoyed a lot. Hmmm….
