i cant speak to the number 3 rod

but weight wise the x ray is probably going to be a lighter rod

there is alot of handle weight in the st croix, great rod, balance is spot on, so it doesnt feel like it weighs what it does
biggest thing is that handle i didnt like going back and forth to it with other rods

The fast and extra fast action rods aren’t the best to fish buzzbaits and to keep pressure on the fish when fighting.

Maybe something more like the Super Stallion GT/RS is more adequate for your purpose.
