Procrastinating at uni. Lucky other people weren't posting much (replying to my own shitty posts isn't my thing) so I got half an assignment done AND made some plans for the weekend's fishing trips.

Do they still make the steez? Or have they rolled that model into a different reel.

Steez went away the other year. 07 steez was the best model going

Looks like they have used the Grips from the New Generation Black Rods, the Camo is personal preference, but id rather the battler camo than this though if i had to make a choice.
But nothing some dye cant fix.

Hmmm I don't know if I like that new design. You are right about the grips.

Same grips on a $450 rod as what they have on their $180 rods is an interesting choice. I'm sure they're comfortable but it's definitely an interesting decision. Is ags really worth the extra $270? I don't think so.

different blank, but yeah i prefer the older black label style grips they used to have.
if only the released the black labels with AGS guides, that would be awsome.

I agree. I've had 2 black labels and the only thing letting them down was how easy they were to guide wrap for God knows what reason. Awesome rods though.

but for now we have to deal with this cra@p they have brought out. a bit of black dye should fix it i think though
