Re: STEEZ XBD FROG ROD : Your feedback?

Thanks Steeve for your very informative feedback.

Thanks Chode, in fact I have also considered the new zillion frog which seems to be a valuable and cheaper alternative to the steez.
But it s a new rod and I did not t find any review of it.
Are you sure it s the same blank? Have you try this rod?
