What buzz bars do you owners of Defiant MPS Titanium bank sticks use? From an aesthetic point of view does only titanium bars look good?

Had a good look at the ESP ones in my local tackle shop look great but put off by the inner carbon bar which I worried would crack when sticks clamped up. has solar P1- awful stick and slip and a pain to get back together if you pull out the insert, newer solar sticks with the thumbscrews don't grip well and again slip. Eventually ended up with the Jag 316 (apparently the aluminium ones are good as well) and think they are great, super solid and built to last (in the UK), also go the bars in 2 and 3 rod and good sizing options as well.

I don't use buzz bars with them I'm afraid.

I bought a Fantail from Keith which is a super versatile pod, although I usually use the sticks without the connecting bars. He also makes Overfits which make the sticks even more adaptable.

Stainless and titanium don't 'match' . . .just get Keith to knock you up the buzz bars at the size you require

You are correct but it's not that noticeable, the Ti is a bit duller.
Like Andy, but I have the Ti Panther and often use the sticks as separates, they're a combo of Ti & stainless. I keep wondering about getting some of the newer Ti sticks from Keith.

Yes ive used keiths dreadnought ti sticks for years now with stainless buzz bars i dont think its ever looked odd or stood out to me, i think the hex part and top on the dreadnoughts were stainless anyway.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
