It's good to hear you got that much mileage with your rod.
I'm on vacation right now and it gives me the opportunity to visit some tackle ships in the area, I found some legend inshores to play with and ran across a legend inshore 7'6MLF, this rod felt so much better than my other croix ML's, the length vs the action felt just right and if my vacation involved buying rods than it would come home with me.
