Congrats. Could you send the fairy my way? I'd like to try an ***. My UPS guy made a couple stops. First a Ballistic 7'7" cranking rod on closeout from TW. Not sure if I will take it out of the plastic. I am not fond of rods with larger diameter blanks. On the other hand, the Aetos 7' MHF isn't going anywhere.............until the ice thaws. The C14+ has been getting some good press lately. Ought to make you a fine combo. I'm thinking something light for my Aetos. Either a Purple Alphas, Fuego, Sol or Patriarch XT. I'd even consider a Lews Tournament Pro, but my middle grandson has come to think of that as his reel. Quote
Grantman83 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 She visited me as well. Dx 746 and dx 704. She seems to be very busy during the winter Quote

thehooligan Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Im hoping the rod fairy drops me off a crankbait rod !! Quote
Got1Fishing Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 The rod fairy MUST be busy... because she dropped off 2 St. Croix Rage rods at my house too... too bad one of them broke in the shipping process... Quote

I have a lews tourny pro on the croix legend tournament bass i got last year....love that combo Quote
McAlpine Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 SVT - How would you compare the *** to the ***? I have a couple ***'s and am very interested in the *** but the price delta is quite a bit and the ***'s are so good that it's tough to make the jump without some idea of what the extra $$ is buying me.

The *** is lighter and balances better. The foregrip is also more comfy. I have yet to fish with it since i live in the great white north and al gore lied to me Quote
Super User Teal Posted January 30, 2014 Super User Posted January 30, 2014 Dang New2 I had a ballistic 77M cranking rod for sale on here last spring and I couldnt give it away. I still. Have the thing.. don't even have a reel on it any more. Not a bad rod, just upgraded and didn't need it. Quote

ColdSVT Posted January 30, 2014 Author Posted January 30, 2014 Wow, even lighter? That's impressive. Is the action the same, XF? Yes and yes Iirc the 2 *** 7'3 Mh that i own are rght around 5oz. The 7'1 Mh *** is closer to 4.3oz. I know .7oz isnt much but the *** truly feels lighter in my hand. I noticed that before i looked up the specs. Quote
