trev Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 This afternoon I was playing with some brand new into the country St Croix spin rods. Not in any shops yet. Hopefully Bass Angler might get some in. A really sexy baitcaster legend elite it was 6' 6"rated at 10-17lbs fuji concept guides. But the one I want to get is the legend tounament walleye spin finesse 4-8lb line all fuji alconite guides. Man I am going to be in so much trouble with the missus cause I gotta get one and I just looked at how much they cost from American sites. But I want one. Don't know when they will be available?? Mick any Idea if Bass Angler are going to stock these? Has anyone bought one from over seas and fished with them? I am going to turn into a tackle slut.....

etay Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Don't actually have a St croix ROD, but I did build myself one from a St croix BLANK. It wasn't a legend tournament, it was a step below (avid range) in the 4-8 lb range. Nice blank for the money, very light. If you are after bream and flatties, maybe consider the 5-10 lb rating, as I am starting to think the 4-8 lb is a tad to light. Depends on your own preferences though. I imagine that the legend tournaments and legend elites are mighty fine rods though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 St Croix make awesome fly rods. I hear that in the US they are up there with Loomis and Sage with market share. I heard a rumour they were eyeballing the Aus. market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it was light it had incredible power when loaded up. Cheers Trev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
