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.

Will be paired with glx 852; used for jerkbait and light topwater; wanted to hear others experience with these two reels, had my eye on the abu but the steez is tempting; Ive only fished the steez ex, thanks guys.

With some light searching for can find the MGXTREME2 for right around $300. I think the Steez would be more controlled, versatile, and generally more hassle free. The MGXTREME2 for a good price would be fun, but stock versus stock price the Steez hands down wins. Think a copycat site youtube test had the MGXTREME2 out casting the Steez and a high end Shimano though.
