Dude….awesome. So Cal, I know you do not like to play favorites with your “children” but…..for the sake of this thread….which do you “prefer more” on “most days”….the Steez or your GLX custom?

i really like my Steez rods for jerkbaits and plastics
i like my custom GLX rods (yes, I have more than one ) for spinnerbaits and lipless cranks... not so much for plastics

Re: If you had a choice..which would you choose...why?
I'm going to take a shot in the dark and guess that Cal's custom GLX MB843 (which just happens to be the rod of my dreams.....in the same color to boot) is priced on the high side of the Steez 7'1" model.

I don´t want to know how much they cost, I want to know who made them Cal, BM sez that I can save for a light saber like that one.Cal wrote:both that I've had made were in excess of $500USA-RET wrote:I'm going to take a shot in the dark and guess that Cal's custom GLX MB843 (which just happens to be the rod of my dreams.....in the same color to boot) is priced on the high side of the Steez 7'1" model.

Re: If you had a choice..which would you choose...why?
man Cal. . . so you and Davej both have those new custom Otterods with the purple accents? those are sweet! one of those is on my list but i've got a few more items before i can get to that. should be able to get one just in time to match it up with a Zillion HLC though. you should nickname those "TD-Ito Specials"
Re: If you had a choice..which would you choose...why?
shoot... where do you think DaveJ got the idea from?
and to be correct, it's fuschia, not purple

Re: If you had a choice..which would you choose...why?
It looks like a Megabass rod almost and I bet the performance is there as well. Whats the exact model reel seat you have on that custom stick Cal? Sickness
