So I had to replace the real I've already spoken with the wife she was like is there any other better reels then there is 79 if anybody got ideas let me know I already have an is 73 and 2 of the Steez reels

I know how that feels.

I was fighting a fish in 18' feet of water and I accidentally kicked over my buddies new NRX/Steez setup right off the boat, plop synora..... OOPS!

I was ready to take a swim, but it was winter, and it was too deep. I thought, no way the lady of the lake is claiming this
So, I took off two big treble hooks off a crank-bait, attached spit shots on each one, tided it to the end of my line and started dredging the bottom. After 20 mins of trying (pure luck ) snagged the third recoil guide of that damn NRX

It saved me $800

Sorry for your loss, Jorrick. My sincerest condolences.

I feel your pain. Did it twice in one season on the same lake, never got either one back

[goldrod]

yeah man..
sucks.. i was one who read post like this and was like never me.. but what would you know life bites me in the arse
the good new is the rod was a powell 704c max original line up bad news was it was a mega bass IS79 on that rod..
so now i am looking for another.. i found one on eBay but rather expensive.. i have to see about a rod.. i really liked that rod
and looking for a replacement is hard..

I was thinking the steez sv but the steez tws is better feeling and I don't want any tws variant

oh man that sucks!! I have gone swimming in a few ponds for my megabass lures and those are only $20-$30 I cant imagine losing one of my megabass combos in the water sorry for your loss....

That sucks. I've managed to snag the last two rods that have went overboard (not my own) with a jointed spoon with a big treble on the back..

Somebody will snag it and have an awesome find.

yeah but such is life.. Im over it now.. hurt like a kick in the stomach
but now.. I'm looking for something else..I dont know what is an upgrade on that reel. and the rod was so perfect for what i used it for. I said it could have been worst many times today , so thank God it is not. I know someone one day will snag it.. i didnt even waypoint it..
and even a magnet would get it.. but not looking back.. Im looking forward now.. steez tws looking like a candidate even though i dont want it to..lol but maybe another antares.. time will tell .. now just got to be more careful and fish the rest.

Sorry to hear that. I have used the old metal fish stringers to get several rods back over the years. Open all of the snap hooks and drag it along. It is the best way I know of to try to recover one.

I know someone who recovered an outfit that went overboard. Use a big treble hook.
