STEEZ 7011LFS-AO • SKYBOLT
The finesse spin model in the line-up, the Skybolt is the great all-rounder of the range that is light and fast for accurate casting with small lures, yet has power to burn to extract fish from cover. Suited for unweighted and jighead-rigged soft plastics, blades and topwaters, this is a rod that will be hard to put down.

STEEZ 681MLFSSV-AO • KINGBOLT
Short enough for close quarters accurate casting, yet long enough for mid-distance casting, the Kingbolt is tailor made for the light tackle freshwater angler. A dream for skipping unweighted plastics in under overhangs for sooty grunter, or twitching jerkbaits on the lakes for bass, few rods can match the Kingbolt for sensitivity, control, and feel.
