    Steez AGS Rods

    I'm looking for some reviews of the Daiwa Steez AGS rods (casting specifically), I haven't found much out there and they aren't talked about as much as say the NRX and the Conquest rods on the forums here. Those that have used them where is there sensitivity in comparison to the NRX lineup? Balance/Comfort/Etc. Specific models I'm interested in are the 7'1 MH XF jig/worm, 7'4 XH Frog, 7'6 H and 8'0 H pitch/flip rods. I had a half day on the water with the 7'6 H and curious what others experience with them is.

    Thanks as always BBC!

    No experience with them personally but I worry about the carbon fiber guide frames. I have seen a few with them broken.

    Had a new spinning rod and warned about knots going through the guides. Kind of hard to avoid unless you use 12 inch leaders?

    The Daiwa Steez AGS 761MMLFS is one of the finest spinning rods I've ever fished. Mine is paired with a new Daiwa 2018 Exist and it's become easily my most used spinning combo, even over Conquest 902s and new Stella FI. I've fished several other models in the Steez AGS line and have been very impressed with them overall. They feel like a very high end rod should feel in terms of sensitivity, weight, etc.

    I'm using the LT 3000C-XH on mine. Highly impressive reel, and rod for that matter.
