Winter really feels like a curse this year. Having way too much free time on my hands, I catched myself yet again researching for potential combos for next season. While thinking about an ultra-light and versatile rod and reel combination for the various lures and baits slumbering in my tackle boxes, I ended up with a pure Daiwa setup.
Inspired by a handful of promising forum topics and posts, the most likely candidates are coming from Daiwas Steez series. Starting with the STZ631 Model, that got a really good rating by the TackleTour staff, it felt more than appropriate to pair this well designed and executed stick with Daiwas magnesium framed flagship - the Steez 100H.

The Steez Flourocarbon Line is surely the icing on the cake and should make this well tuned combo a perfect weapon for perch/bass fishing. Even if all these components are to find in the upper price segment, this combo ‘ll cast a spell over every tackle enthusiast and bass angler.

For more informations and numerous pictures of the STZ631 check the detailed review at the TackleTour website. With a Total Score of 9.00 and honoured with the ULTIMATE ENTHUSIAST AWARD this Rod/Combo is for sure worth a spin.
Just got the link to the Steez Line-up at Daiwas japanese website (fishing.daiwa21.com : thanks Chris) and found that the STZ 671HMHFB model called “FLOGGER” could be worth a brief introduction as well.
