Super User A-Jay Posted May 21, 2013 Super User Posted May 21, 2013 Anyone have an experience based opinion on these rods ? A-Jay Quote
Capt.Bob Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 Hey there A-Jay!! You lookin in that Bargain Room again??I been looking at them and the Inshore Legends, those sound like some good buy's, and might work for freshwater. But I have no experience with em and kinda like to know how they are rated as far as power compared to freshwater rods myself??? Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted May 21, 2013 Author Super User Posted May 21, 2013 I was looking in there Capt B, but it's the travel rod I hunting down and I didn't see them there. Looking to pick up a couple to bring on my next trip to Baccarac. Dragging the full size rod tube is just not going to happen any more. I did talk to a St Croix service rep and of course he thought that the MH rods would be perfect. A-Jay Quote

A-Jay They only have 2 left but at the bottom of the page with the #3 at the end of the model # are Travel the MLF seems to be rated the same as a Medium Fast freshwater rod. This was the link. Probably a little light for your needs. http://www.stcroixrods.com/shop/catalog/Saltwater-24-1.html# Quote
0119 Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 I have a buddy who recently got the MLF 3 piece Tidemaster. Its a sweet rod but it is definitely nowhere near a medium and likes line and lure weight in the lighter end of its designed parameters. Not an all purpose rod at all but a great crankbait or 1/4oz topwater rod. Quote
Super User Chris at Tech Posted May 22, 2013 Super User Posted May 22, 2013 I have the 70MLF and 70MF one-piece spinning models I use for inshore fishing. They're great rods for that purpose but are quite a bit slower in action than bass gear. I will say that the quality, fit and finish of the rods is top-notch as you'd expect from St Croix. Do you have any stores nearby where you can at least get your hands on the one-piece models? Quote
