Daiwa,
I once purchsed the Steez XBD frog rod through ebay. It was broken during shipping. It came from a guy claiming to be a Daiwa rep (Angelo). He claimed to have gotten it from Ish Monroe. It had a longer handle than is currently advertised. Current offerings claim to be 15 inches from butt cap to locking nut. The one I had measured 15 inches from butt cap to rear of reel seat.
Can you exaplain why this could be?
1. Was the one I purchased a prototype?
2. Is it at all possible to locate the XBD rod with the longer handle?
Thanks!

Re: Steez XBD Frog Rod
The Steez XBD rods we have in stock measure 15 inches from the locking nut to the butt cap. These are frogging rods so the handles are not going to be that long. Your rod could be a prototype he was testing before we came out with the final product. We do not have a rod that matches that spec. The only way you might be able to find a rod similar is if there is JDM Steez that has this spec. I don't have information on JDM models so I can't promise you. Thank you and have a great day.
