Oh man I tried to save some money and buy a cheaper rod but now my eyes are open. I just received my rod today (Quantum Superlite) and now I know why not to go cheap. Immediately I noticed the wind check was not even seated properly and there was a few chips in the epoxy. Additionaly, the inconsist...

Definantly the Wajima finished Steez.

I only have one kid (but lots of reels).

Isn't shooter more expensive?

I'm not sure if I will ever get to fish that rod. I'll just have to sneak it out one day. i actually like the two footed guides down low.

I cant wait to see the new rods!

DrPerf: Ahhhhhh...... the 8' Steez. That is my favorite rod!!!

I grabbed a Powell Endurance 726CB over the winter, and it appears as if it will pan out to be one heck of an all purpose cranking rod. I also have the Phenix X-10 that is mentioned above, and that thing is all kinds of whippy. I'd be nervous to throw more than 1/2 oz. on it, although it is a nice ...

Even I tried it "off balance" and didn't feel any difference but I was told by my mechanical engineering professor buddy that it can't help but be, so I figured, why take any chances. :D He said that the weights are so light its not like it's going to make the reel vibrate out of your hand but it do...

If you do two pins, make them the ones that are opposite from each other. If you do three, then do every other one. Four should be the opposing pairs. In other words, don't use the pins only on one side. It throws off the balance.

I too am interested in the Steez 7-1"Compile-X and wanted to know its versatility. As a co-angler for the time being--I am trying to limit myself to 5 rod and reel setups. Know that I will always have my special 5" senko rod and shaky head rod and a MH crankbailt rod. But wanna keep another rod tha...

I vote for the Phenix series --- X10 got a TT Editors Choice award.

I love my Ultra MBX Classic 7'7" MHF. I have it paired with an I'ZE Light and use it for 1/2-1.25oz spinnerbaits, 3/8-3/4oz lipless, big topwaters and 3/8-3/4oz buzzbaits. Hey, hey, Dragon1! How the heck have you been? Glad you like your Phenix. I am really excited to fish these rods this year. I'v...

I have three phenix rods....Two 707h and a 707mh, i use them for plastics and jigs....Nice sensitive blanks.....Two of them are the new classics, love the looks of them... My spinning rod is a classic. Really cool looking rod...... I love the burl wood. My 707H is also going to be a classic. :big g...

My next rod is going to be a 707H!

I know that the X10 got an Editors ...
