St Croix Elite

Post by D.R. » Mon Jan 02, 2006 5:18 am

Any one use a EC68MXF. I would like some feed back on your take on this rod. I have Legand Tournaments (2), Avids (4), Shimano Crucials (5), and Compre (3) rods. I have used mid range rods for years, but never owened a high end rod.
I am going to buy one this week. A high end rod os some kind for jigs and plastics.
Feed back from any one is welcome.

Thank you
D.R.

P.S. It is going to be 75 deg. today. I will be on the water this afternoon.

The EC68MXF is a nice rod, I sure like mine for texas rigged light baby brush hogs, unweighted senkos, and beavers. It is definately high end St. Croix, with plenty of sensitivity and nice extra fast action. It should fit in nicely with you other rods/reels.

I own three legend elites, all are spinning rods. They are the best rod I have ever used. Sensitive,lite, and a very fast action and it looks good to.
