Comments: Update from previous post:  Long term testing has resulted in more of the same...pure awesomeness.  To date, the biggest bass I've caught has come from Falcon Lake, Tx. and weighed in at 11 pounds 12 ounces.  This reel handles them all.  From cranking in bass out of the reeds frog fishing to light taps on the jig, this is the best reel out there for the bass fishing enthusiast.

Comments:  These reels are as good as it gets for bass fishing.  I've been using these reels for everything from texas rigged worms to heavy swimbaits and flipping baits at Falcon and Choke.  The biggest bass I've pulled in so far has been about 7 pounds and it handled it with no problem.  Make sure and use a backing if you use braid like I do, therwise your line will slip and you will miss hooksets.  These reels are not cheap, but they are worth the money if you are a serious fisherman.  I wouldn't rather fish with anything else.

Comments: These rods are the best overall quality and performance combined.A dream to fish with.They are very versatile rods.The medium heavy action is right on.The 7' MH is perfect for flukes and 5" senkos.I like the 6' MH for topwaters,rattletraps,and shallow crankbaits.

From: Steve: Deland, FL

Comments: I have the Steez 100SHA with upgraded ABEC-9 spool bearings, internals polished and I cannot imagine a smoother, better, farther casting baitcaster; paired with a custom 7' PTR rod - combo is phenomenal!

From: Bob: Modesto, CA

Comments:I have two (100 hla and 103ha) steez reels. Blows my shimano calais out of the water. Very light reels and great drag system. Paired both with the shimano cumara rods and i'm so happy with the combos, the feel and looks are stunning.

From:Scott: Torrance, CA

Comments:I also believe this is the KING of reels. I have paired mine with the Carrot Stik and they are extremely lite and make for fantastic combo's. They are worth every penny and I am slowy replacing all my reel's with STEEZ.

From:Bill: Warsaw, MO

Comments:This reel did cost me a pretty penny, but it was worht every dime. I have had Shimano, Abu Garcia, and this is the king! I have it paired with a 6' 10" Heavy Falcon Cara T7 and the combo weighs less than 10oz! I think I can feel a fish breathe on my lure. I have two Zillions and two Sols which I love too, but if I had the money I would have all Steez, there is absolutely no comparison.
