Jetex2801 Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 Saw this on tackledirect, small price drop compared to the current model if the information on the site is correct which I'm guessing is the price difference from the savings of using fuji titanium torzite kw guides for the reduction train instead of the rv guides currently used. From a quick search I'm can't find any information about it anywhere, maybe someone at tackledirect made a booboo and let this slip before St Croix officially announces it at icast? Either way if anyone knows anything I'd be keen to hear it thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLap21 Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) Hmmm, interesting! Good observation. I think I prefer the RV's, but I'll definitely check them out. I do not like the grips, however. Edited June 30, 2019 by TLap21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikedNJ Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 Heard about both of those rods from 2 builders. Both will be a nice refresh for a factory rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did as well, they sent me the same K guide version- nothing new. Just received yesterday, i'll take pics of the guide tags to show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLap21 Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 Looks like the price drop is going to SiC rings instead of Torzite's.

Jetex2801 Posted July 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 I see that TD has removed it's listing for the "new" legend but the listing for the new avid series is up, I wonder when St Croix is going to give us the official info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Doesn't it seem silly that in what...... 3 years they've had 3 redesigns of their top of the line rod. Same blank....just changed the grips and guides... How long was the RV version out for 2 years? Version 1 stainless guides garbage butt cap $$$$ Version 2 same blank insanely expensive guides and a butt cap and different foregrip $$$$$$$$$ Version 3 Same blank ridiculously expensive guides and a slight grip mod $$$$$$ How bout a new 450$ version like the original with stainless K guides and same butt as current...

glos Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 they make cosmetics, and too light, fragile, for better selling. basically they make worse of a product and charge huge money for it. Ksong do not let those of yours go that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
