Good rod for Steez?
Good rod for Steez?
I have been looking for a good rod to match up with my Steez. I don't want to spend $500 right now on a Steez rod. If I do choose later to do it I can find another reel to put on the new one. I will do mostly Senko fishing in my backyard pond with it. Found a good deal for $270 on a G LOOMIS BCR853. Do you guys think this will be a good match?

Re: Good rod for Steez?
You can find a Daiwa Light and Tough for about a hundred bucks- $110 online. They are super light, and would complement the light weight construction of your Steez reel.

Yeah I know. I would just feel bad putting a $450 reel on a $100 rod.teamdaiwa5 wrote:You can find a Daiwa Light and Tough for about a hundred bucks- $110 online. They are super light, and would complement the light weight construction of your Steez reel.

Well, like you said if you are looking for a rod to fit the bill right now, thats not a bad investment until you pick up the new Steez rod
Re: Good rod for Steez?
Yeah I know. I can do somewhere in the $300 range though. I can use that rod later for another reel when I get a Steez rod around Christmas.teamdaiwa5 wrote:Well, like you said if you are looking for a rod to fit the bill right now, thats not a bad investment until you pick up the new Steez rod

You can't put a Daiwa reel on a Shimano rod!
I went with the Major Craft Days 6'8'' MH for my Steez 100. I really love this combo, it has quickly become my favorite. The rod is stunning, very well balanced and extremely sensitive!

If I hadnt picked up the 7'1" steez, I would have gotten the GLX bcr803 or 853 myself Have someone put a split grip on that baby, lose the foregrip and that thing will be the bomb. My 2 cents. G

Haha I know. It would be temporary though. I still plan on getting a Steez rod in the next few months. Just need something for now that can be switched around later.Bass Pro wrote:You can't put a Daiwa reel on a Shimano rod!

That rod is beautiful. How much and where can you get one?
Re: Good rod for Steez?
Yeah I would love one in a split grip. I am really leaning towards one of the two of those right now. Hard decision between the two.Lucky1 wrote:If I hadnt picked up the 7'1" steez, I would have gotten the GLX bcr803 or 853 myself Have someone put a split grip on that baby, lose the foregrip and that thing will be the bomb.

Re: Good rod for Steez?
After really thinking about it I think I am going to go with the 853. Seems like a good all around size for what I will be doing with it.
