Steez?

scubascott · #1 31-08-2012, 04:02 AM

Looking for a new reel for my 201 Samurai. Was looking round the $500 mark. Found a 2508 Steez for $460 and was wondering if anyone has any opinions/experience on them before I grab one. Is the 2508 too big? Was thinking of a 2000 size reel but the weights all work out equal. Certate was the other reel I was looking at but leaning toward the steez now.

Great Reel and a perfect balance for the rod.
You won't go wrong with that.

They're the best value high end reel imo. Go the 2508. can't go wrong with it.

Hi guys,
I have both certates and steez on my samurai rods, the steez is super light but I think I prefer the certates, they are just so smooth. I don't think you could go wrong with either.
Keep in mind if your buying a steez that there is a new model that's just been released. I would think that some good deals on the current (old) model are to be had in the next few months!

Hey mate,
I got a 2508 exist a month ago,it would pretty much be the same size as a steez 2508,I to was thinking would it be to big on my Duffrod breamstix but it is perfect for me,I already had 3 2004 certates & thought the 7 kilo drag will always be there if you want to chase bigger fish

You should easily be able to find a new 2508 steez for $500 or less so if that $460 is second hand than forget it. If you are getting it new for $460 then let us know where

Try to take your rod into a local tackle shop and put a 2508 and see how it balances - try before you buy to save you hassle. You should be right though.

Goodluck with it

$460 was the price for a brand new one. Just bought it, cost $460 which included 200m spool of braid. Now to hit the racks and use the 7kgs of drag

Awesome choice man you can't go wrong with a steez

Pretty keen to know where you picked up such an awesome deal though?

Got it from my local tackle store. Grabbed one of the last ones, otherwise I would have probably got a 2004 as well
