should I take a chance and use my Compile-X rod to frog fish?

Are you talking about the 71H? If so, give it a shot because it's not the greatest bottom contact rod at it's price point. I've been fishing the new AGS Steez rods lately and as much as I like the look of the Compile-X, the AGS rods have performed much better for me. I was never impressed with the sensitivity of them when compared to the competition from other brands, but the AGS rods have started to make me reconsider some of the upper end Daiwa rods.jwfflipper14 wrote:should I take a chance and use my Compile-X rod to frog fish?

Save for the flipping stick, the Compile X rods are over-hyped.bronzefly wrote:Are you talking about the 71H?

Try wrapping the feet of the reel seat with some electrical tape.4g63power wrote:Steez strike force is an awesome rod for texas rig, bottom contact. My only problem is that foregrip locking nut needs to be clamped down really tightly on steez reels.

I agree on the Compile-X.... Mind me asking how old the 71H model is that you have.
I have noticed that all the Steez Compile-X (japan build) have different look and 3DX logo'd blank.
One would think that as long as this line has been around that if you bought a new one today it would be the same as one you would have bought 10+ years ago.
I think they are a different build from what they were when they first hit our shores many years ago.
If Tackle Trap should ever get their hands on the Steez Strike Force-7-2MH/H ; I would be very interested if the price was right.
