offsidewing Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 So my local tackle shop has 7'0" M/F Legend Extreme casting rod on sale for a very attractive price. The St Croix 7' M/F seems to be on everyone's list as a versitile length/action for plastics and jigs. Since thia action is not super technique specific, is it worth spending the extra $$$ to get a high end rod like the Legend Extreme? Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted May 4, 2015 Super User Posted May 4, 2015 the 7' MF st. croix is one of the most versatile rods built and the ScV blanks are some of the finest in the industry. if you can grab an extreme for a sweet deal, it's more than worth it. if you don't end up buying it, PMme the details and i would be interested. If you don't like it (which would be rare), the 7; MF LTB and Xtremes have a very good resale value. Quote

It needed a professional repair so I passed. Quote

DaveT63 Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 A professional repair of one guide likely won't cost near a much as the discount. I have one of those and it is one of my favorite rods. Very versatile and well worth it's retail price. Quote
