NavyVet Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Anyone use the St. Croix Legend Elite seris rods? I am considering buying a spinning rod in that seris. Looking for around a 7 footer in M action. Any comments or opinions about that line would be appreciated. How do you think they compare to a DX Dobyns for example? Quote
Super User Tywithay Posted August 18, 2014 Super User Posted August 18, 2014 One of my favorite rods. The DX rods balance a bit better, but there's no question that the St Croix is more sensitive and has much better build quality. Quote

NavyVet Posted August 18, 2014 Author Posted August 18, 2014 Does the Legend Elite spinning have micro type guides at the tip or top section as the Legend Extreme casting does? I hope not. Also, are they finished in forest green, or are they black as in the Avid seris? Quote
Capt.Bob Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 LES66MF here, but very sweet as is the 7' and yes they are Forrest Green, and no they do not use micro guides. The Legend Elites are by far the most impressive rods I have found in my 60 years, I like them all, the 7' MF is an excellent rod and better in deep water or when fishing with a lot of line out than my 6'6", another great option and the 6'6" has a little faster tip. Either one is GREAT!! Quote
Super User tomustang Posted August 19, 2014 Super User Posted August 19, 2014 I have one 7'M in casting, one of my favorite rods. Who am I kidding I have a alot of favorite rods Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted August 19, 2014 Super User Posted August 19, 2014 Although I don't have a LES rod I do have the Xtreme which is built on the same blank. It's an insane rod and by far my favorite! I haven't used a DX rod so i can't really compare, but can only tell you how much I love my Xtreme's and that you'd love an Legend Elite. Quote
DaveT63 Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 The LES spinning rods are fantastic. I have a 7' MHF and also have a 2-pc 6'6" MF LES, and the 2-pc is better than most all my other rods. Quote
NavyVet Posted August 22, 2014 Author Posted August 22, 2014 Are the Legend Elites the same color as the Legend Extremes or are they different? Quote
