Re: All new steez sv tw

It has small palming side and larger gear box like newer shimano/revo/ even psicifun dare i say :lol: so if you like m...

They are Fuji K-Frame Alconite guides.
That's disappointing to hear, could have sworn they were sic, may be because i always thought fuji didn't make lkw frames with alconites. Sorry for the misinfo. I think i would take tatula elite ags over the zillion rod, IMO better values and more "fun"

Re: New Zillion Rods

Was looking at the specs on these today because I found the glass composite ones intriguing and noticed they have alconite guide train? Really??? $300+ rod series with alconite guides? thats sad. I remember the rebellions could be had for $150 and even they had SS/SIC guides I'm sure it's a typo an...

Re: New Zillion Rods

Btw this new zillion rods might be cool and stuff but don't see much that separates them from new tatula elite/ags rods. What's wrong with the new zillion rods? Because they don't slap on what separates this from the new tatula elite/ags rods in the descriptions, that makes it there's no separation...

Re: New Zillion Rods

It seems a lot of companies are hitting an innovation wall with blank material. NRX made a splash 10yrs ago only to add a "+" 10yrs later with little to no improvement to their blanks. Daiwa might be facing similar issues. What's wrong with their blank material? Because they don't slap on toray 40 ...

Shimano is the Michael Jordan of fishing rod styling, and everyone wants to 'be like Mike'. Heck even Sedition copied the Monoque.
They also have realized they cost less for productions and make them look more expensive.

Run one of those precision carving knives around the rings to see if you hear a "tick"

Re: 2023 Steez “Real Control” Rods

I've been fishing the Real Control S68MH for a few trips now, and while I like it, personally I'm not blown away. It feels like a textbook case of going too stiff and rigid on a supposedly super high-end rod, at the expense of enjoyment/castability/versatility. Supposedly the whole RC series is des...

Can't go wrong with costa 580g. Maui's hawaii lava are really nice, didn't care for their grey though.

Re: 2023 Steez “Real Control” Rods

Just want to clarify one thing, hvf/svf/compile-x are not blank material, those are daiwa terms for blank manufacturing process. Since they don't state what materials are used, it could be that same materials are being used for hvf to compile-x. Not saying it's a fact but it could.
