Ok. Sounds good. If you want to do it let me know. My rod still has tags on it.
-
Bow what is the condition of your rod? It’s hard to tell from a pic. I might have the legend 2-6 new.
-
And who did the build
-
What does it measure from the but to the reel seat?
-
I have a st croix legend 10’ 6”. I only used it 2 times. It’s a 3/4 to 4oz.

VSX2 150 w/ 10' Lami XS 101 MS I HATE IT Rod Recs?

The ODM Evo Titanium guides is about as lite as it gets. They cast so easy and there very strong. -
I can’t believe that st croix didn’t even care how the rod broke. They just wanted 3 pictures of the rod. Then I had to pay $60. They had to paint it up then it’s on its way. But it’s blank only being it was a custom.

6'9" Black Hole Challenger Bank 691 UL ( ultra light ) for fluke bucktailing

I mostly use 1 1/2 oz jigs in 60 to 80 feet. Sometimes I’ll go to 2 oz. If I need more then that I’ll switch to a rig and that will a heavier rod. But most of the time I’ll use jigs. I was saying it was no problem handing the weight of the fish. Ones I got it off the bottom it had the backbone get them up. And the tip is lite so you feel everything. I was very impressed. -

This is my new tog rod. It was early in the morning and I was 1/2 asleep. And my garage was dark. I was going for my 701L. What I got on the boat I saw I grabbed the wrong rod. It was the best mistake I ever did. I dropped an 1 1/2 oz jig and I could feel everything. I was worried it was going to be to lite. Then I caught a 6 lb tog. I thought that wasn’t so bad lad I liked it a lot. Then a caught a 8.80 lb. I thought I was in trouble. Boy was I wrong. It handled so well. I was able to keep that fish out of the wreck and get’em up. It seemed like once it bent about 1/2 way down the back bone kicked in. What a great rod. Can’t wait to go again but now I have to wait until the fall season. Can’t say enough good. -

I can’t believe it. St croix will send me another one. That’s customer service.

I sent a twin power in for service to J&B tackle. I got there name off shimano’s website. They got my reel back to me in 3 weeks. That’s them waiting for parts. I give them a 1st rating. I highly recommend them. I located in Connecticut. There the best in my book.
-
I will. Hopefully by the weeks end.

I came home with a Jigging World Hybrid. It seems like a nice rod. It’s the same blank as the night ranger. Just eva grip’s and SiC guides. That nano carbon blank I heard is super strong. I’ll be trying it out midweek. Thanks for the advice guys.
