First off, I'd like to echo what others assessment of Steve's Deus II shaft in field use. I found it top notch, just as they did.
It was so solid that if you didn't know better, one might think they were swinging a one piece carbon fiber shaft. It had no wobble whatsoever . One very important aspect to making it so is the proper tightening of the thumb screw that adjusts the tension on the cam lock. If you ensure this is tightened down sufficiently to allow the cam lock to put enough pressure on the shaft, it will not move...period.
I tried rotating the upper shaft to several angles of the RC and settled on one that fit me best. That's a nice feature in my opinion.
It was very comfortable to handle and I could just feel the quality. My hunting buddy was so impressed that he contacted Steve and put his name on the list.
I didn't take it in the surf as the ocean, somewhat north of Daytona Beach, was angry today. However, the numerous surfers there loved it but this 74 year old knows his limitations. As a young LT and CPT I was sure that I was bullet proof...not these days however.😁
Again, as F350Platinum said, it is very easy to clean up after a long day at the ocean. Super slick and professional looking in every way.
The only shortcoming I can point out is that it just can't dig the targets for me once I find them! Steve will have to work on that.... 🤣
All in all....a super shaft for the Deus II. GREAT job Steve.
