My high end rods are NRX+ and Legend Elite's.

I have probably a 4:1 ratio of spinners vs BC. However, the more I am using my BC's the more I am grabbing one of them. I bank fish a lot and like a SC LE 6'6"-7'0" with a 2500 Stradic on it. If I'm using a BC I like my old AVIDX 7'1" with a Curado DC on it.

@Craig P, that's quite a testament to the durability of the SLX!!!!

I have this same model in Mojo Bass, Avid X, and Legend Elite. I use it all the time for multiple species and multiple baits. It's my swiss army knife casting rod. I obviously really like it.

A little suprised. 92 views and only 1 response. I would have thought this has happened to others too.

Worked almost 27 years for a company and they decided to close the department I worked in. We were sold to a VC company a couple of years ago and I was worried but thought I could last five years. Wrong. Sucks having to start over at 60. Oh well, what are you going to do. Have many of you had to do the same and how did it work out for you?

I have been using /SC rods for almost 30 years with no issues. I will agree since covid their CS has slipped a little but no issues with their rods.

Welcome Mike. I was raised in Pekin, IL just a little to your south. Moved to Rockford after college in '89 but my son works in Peoria so I get back there often.

Thanks for the explanation.

What is the correct name for them?

I use a lot of Mepp's .

I fish a lot with spinner baits and most if not all use treble hooks. As we all know treble hooks are a pain to remove from fish so can you just replace the treble with a single hook or it just easier to snip off two of the existing hooks?

@NorthernBasser, Galen, keeping you in my prayers! Cancer is a B****! Best Wishes, Randy.

I'm primarily a Shimano guy for spinners and BC but I do have a couple of Diawa spinners that I have been please with.

I have the Mojo Bass in this configuration but not the Victory.

Guys, in the market for another versatile casting rod in the <$280.00 price range. I'm most familiar with the SC Victory line but want to know how the GCX 843C MBR or the Zodias 72MHF compare to the SC Victory 71MHF and what is the best bang for the dollar.

I have a specific rod and reel ( SC Mojo Bass MHF71 with a Shimano Metanium and a #4 Mepp's dressed Aglia with a silver blade and black skirt) that I have caught a lot of fish on when others weren't catching anything. I always feel lucky with this outfit. Do you guys have a lucky rig?

I am buying it (especially for the price) but was wondering if the moderate action would be good the spinner baits with treble hooks. I normally use a fast action.

Guys, I can pickup a LN SC Victory 72MHM casting rod for $ 80.00. I've never had a moderate action before. I've heard it's good for swimbaits such a Mepp's bucktail spinners..is this correct?

I'm of the opinion that anything made in Japan is top quality. Malaysia is ok too. Not a fan of China.

I bought my first Subaru in October 2021 a Forester Sport. I wanted a RAV4 but could not find a new one at that time. I have 67,000 miles on it and not a single problem. My son bought an Outback and hasn't had any issues with his either.

@Ohnooze, I've caught several decent sized bass on my ML spinning rod. Actually, I use a ML spinning rod for most of my applications.

Thanks @WRB. Randy

@WRB, would you choose the Grunt or the Marshal?

@MiceNReets and @Smirak and @r83srock, between the Grunt and the Marshal which would you choose?
