steez comparison help

Post by crackerboy » Mon Feb 17, 2014 11:56 am

I have a stz802hfba and love the action. Im wondering if a zillion tdzl801mhrb would be similar. Any details on how it would compare would be great. Ive had the tdz801hfb and its too stiff to me.

I also have a stz741xhfba-xbd and Im wondering if the stz741xhfba they are calling a swimbait rod is the same action. Was hoping it has a softer tip. Any help would be great. Thanks

741 swimbait has a longer handle (about 1.25inch longer), stronger backbone.
It is different blank and action as 741 frog.

swimbait can handle heavier lures than frog. If frog up limit is 2oz, i would give 2.5 oz to swimbait rod.

I think swimbait rod overall is a stiffer rod and stiffer tip than frog rod.
