steez 2508 vs.EX2508H

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

steez 2508 vs.EX2508H

Post by jigapig » Mon Jan 20, 2014 2:56 pm

I have the older 2508 steez reel and love it. Looking at buying another. Anyone using the newer EX2508H Zaion body steez? :-k I think it looks sweet. Might just get that one. Wondering how they compare.

I have a few 2500s, and actually thought about upgrading one to an EX. That thought came and went. Weight savings alone isn't worth the insane price to me, and I can't see any amount of increased drag pressure or durability that might help out. The only positive would be the ability to use in brackish or salt water….but that's why I snagged a stella from GM on sale...

Cool, thanks for the input. I like the looks and review of the ex steez. So I will probably just add it to the arsenal. I can't help myself.
