Lucky Craft Man Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I don't guess it's even worth asking if you have ever considered a Steez rod. I am a big fan of full grip rods (as well as rod brand continuity) and after going through many brands of rods, G Loomis & the Cabelas XML's have really suited me well. I am sure the Steez is a great rod, but until that sucker comes with a full rear grip, I don't see one in my future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Craft Man Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 INSANE! I would describe what RedLineRobert and Bronzefly have displayed as INSANE. Their equipment is truly impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Global Moderator roadwarrior Posted December 8, 2009 Global Moderator Share Posted December 8, 2009 I can only hope that one day I will be fortunate enough to own half of the rods and reels that have been shown! Absolutely incredible! I have one set-up a Shimano crucial spinning rod with a symetre reel, no pics now . Am working on getting my very own first baitcaster, hopefully before the new year! Most (all) of this gear has probably been accumulated over the years. Speaking for myself, some of my stuff was purchased in 1997. I don't trade and generally pick up a rig or two a year, not all at once. My theory is like Warren Buffet's investment goals: "Buy and hold forever." And this is something I have often stated: You only "need" three rigs: 1. Spinning combo for weightless soft plastics and light lures. My suggestion is 6 1/2' or 7' MF. 2. Baitcaster for "treble hooks". 6 1/2' MHM. 3. Baitcaster for weighted soft plastics and jigs. 7' MHF or 7' HF. ;D ;D ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Redlinerobert Posted December 8, 2009 Super User Share Posted December 8, 2009 Agreed with Kent. It has taken me years to accumulate my tackle. Also this is my main hobby now. Use to be cars, but I'm over that. For now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I'm still trying to decide what rod to get for jigs ;D In the next couple of years I hope to be at the point where I have five NICE combos (3 casting, 2 spinning), around $200 in each one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWMIBASSER Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Nice stuff!! Everyone killer tackle. I'm going to be building a Revo this winter. Not the most popular reels to trick out but it seems if you look hard enough you can find some cool stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
