St. Croix Legend X 610MLXF Spinning Rod

[Randy Price]

Stopped by Park Falls Tuesday and bought a B Stock Legend X 610MLXF spinning rod.  Do any of you guys have this rod and if so what do you use it for?

It's a textbook drop-shot rod

[Delaware Valley Tackle]

Drop shot, Ned rig, hair jigs, small tubes, in-line spinners... basically anything finesse spinning.

You'll love this rod.

I have used the Avid in this power with a Shimano Stradic 2500 spooled with Power Pro 20# braid and a 12# P-Line leader for throwing 3" sticks and Ned rigs or 1/8oz finesse jigs.

 

You have a very fun rod for river smallmouth, but it will handle respectable largemouth with ease.

I have a Legend Xtreme 7MH I got on clearance several years ago. I use it for mostly bottom contact. Best rod ever. I can tell you everything on bottom with that rod from strike to log to rock. It will help you get bass that bite soft. You feel every bite. Enjoy it you’ll want to fish it with every lure.

Thanks for the responses.  Can I use this rod for senkos?  I like to bass fish senkos wacky style.

For me, I’d feel comfortable using a 4-in on this rod.  I believe the 5-in is a bit too heavy for my preferences.

This is my ned rig rod. Daiwa LT 2000 spooled with 8# Suffix Nanobraid and 8# Invizix leader. Super sensitive with strong hook sets.

A 5” is easily m-mh casting territory. 4” I throw on either and would be ok on ml with exposed hook.
