Sorry for the confusion . The 2 new rods are the spinning and casting Legend X Series . Supposed to be same as Legend Elite with different handle. I'll give more feedback as I have a chance to fish them over next week but when I read Zander's review of the legend Elite one of the best reviews I've s...

Maybe I have reached a point of diminishing returns in that I have enough high end rods that there is not a wow factor still out there. I have and NRX and Daiwa Steez 76MML- and a Daiwa Steez 71MHXF-AGS which is not much compare to some of you collectors but these would be considered close to flag s...

I just upgraded a St. Croix to XLC70MF Legend Elite Extreme after reading the reviews on the legend elite . Went with the extreme thinking I would like the handle better.

It shoots good but is a little too long and their shorter rods 6' doesn't have the same action. I'm an enthusiast so money is ...

If this makes sense. A pretty decent one is St. Croix trout or panfish series in a 5'6" or 6' . On...

I am an enthusiast who loves shooting docks. What rod do you guys think works best if money is no object. I have tried 20+ rods and am still looking for the one. Anyone have any expierance with phenix elixr as am considering ordering one of those. I just hate ordering high end rods without being abl...
