Have you ever tried the LWCG with the davet method of tying amsteel?I find the LWCG compact sticks to feel the best under foot. I have also been messing around with their doublestep sticks again also. They are growing on me a bit but you definitely need to use the cam straps or a truckers hitch or they don’t bite good. I also found running from the button under the ears seems to give the sticks a bit more bite than over the top or from the ears also.
I'm also looking to either one stick this year or switch to a much better set of sticks.....Currently use cut down helium's at 24" with movable aider.
