Capt.Bob Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Well Today I finally broke down. I have as some know a weakness for St. Croix Rod's. I have been watching the Extreme's and wishing they were Elites in the bargain room, But the more I looked the more the price dropped and then a couple weeks ago they offered the free Rage Rod giveaway, I Just couldn't take it with the 1/2 off retail and a free $150.00 rod with a $300.00 purchase, so here comes a 6'10" MXF and 7'2" MHM Legend Extreme casting rods. I love my Legend Elites which are the same blanks, and have a LTB 6'8" MXF that will soon be for sale and I wanted the 7'2" MHM because I don't have a MH in a Moderate action, and have been wanting one. Now how do I justify the 5.9 oz Team Lew's Pro for the 3.6 oz. MXF? Anyway I figure maybe a Rage RS610MLXF w/a Symetre would be a pretty nice rig for the grankids to fish when I take them with me, and who knows, maybe I will start to get used to fishing rods with half the handle missing??? If not I sure got some great trading stock!! Quote
Toeshots Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Those are some nice rods you have on the way! As far as the Rage is concerned, I don't believe the Bargain Room rods qualify towards the free Rage giveaway. I could be mistaken but I thought I remembered this when they did the Christmas Rage giveaway. You may want to call St. Croix to confirm but those guys are great up there so they may let you do it regardless. Quote

The Bargain room does qualify, any St. Croix rod purchase totaling the $300.00. I was having trouble not pulling the trigger with those two rods priced so ridiculously low. I think the Rage may get sold anyway but I am bringing this to everyone's attention because there are quite a few that thought the Bargain Room didn't qualify. They have some sweet Legend ultra fly rods in there also that would qualify at ridiculously low prices. I love to catch em on mice and frogs in the weeds, but have an 8' 7 weight Legend Ultra and am eye'n a 9 weight 4 piece that would be sweet in heavy cover, I need soft water so I spend more time on the water and less on the puter!!!

Toeshots Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 I'm with ya - got some major cabin fever. I've been watching the 10-day forecast like crazy and keep looking towards next weekend where they are calling for almost 50-degree weather for a few days in a row. Should melt the ice and let me get some fishing in. Please no more snow! 1 Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted March 2, 2013 Super User Posted March 2, 2013 You are going to love both of those selection but especially that 7'2" MHM extreme for treble hook baits. Great blank that is very versatile. Enjoy. Quote
Super User Darren. Posted March 2, 2013 Super User Posted March 2, 2013 Man. I want another St. Croix. Love my newly bought Premier. Almost more than my Compre's.... Almost. Quote
thehooligan Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 I went on a shimano rampage this month, but i hold to hold everything inside me back from ordering one of the xtreme's in the bargain room...lol Quote
