St. Croix legends x 7'4" heavy fast

[Pogues2300]

Wondering if this would work well as a frog rod that doubles as punching rod in Minnesota cover. I've never owned a heavy rod or have done much punching but it looks fun. If anyone owns the rod what dio you use it for? Thanks

St.Croix Legend Tournament?  

 

I do not own this rod but I was looking it over to purchase myself last year. I had it in my hands ready to buy at this years Boat, Sport and Travel Show but changed my mind and ended up getting an NRX instead (for a totally different purpose).  The reason I changed my my mind was that I already have a 7' Heavy G. Loomis IMX that I use for frogs and heavy jigs.  The St. Croix LT 7'4'' is a stout rod, almost too much power for what I would use it for, and it seemed tip heavy.  With that said, I think it would be an excellent rod for punching and frogs paired with the right reel.   Also, I can't say for sure but the tip of the rod seemed a little soft which is great for frogs and maybe punching but I tend to like a stiffer tip for jigs.

Excellent rod. Really like the taper for your purpose. Definitely a good rod for a frog/flip/light punch rod.

I like the 894C JWR GLX as well. I find it to balance a bit better

I just got the legend x 7’11 specifically for pitching flipping and punching but I purchased be fore this rod the legend xtreme 2020 7’4 h/f I’m going to use that for frogs/punching heavy cover because I already have the zillion hd 7.3 on it With 65lb suffix I’m grabbing the tatula elite p/f and I’m going to put 25lb floral on that and maybe just rotate reels to what kind of fishing I’m doing because I know that 7’11 is about to do wonders what’s y’all think

I've got that rod in a Legend Xtreme(older version).  Its a stout rod. Its one of my go to rods.    I use it a lot for heavier jigs, fishing grass, some froggin, c rig, and a few other things.  If the weeds get too thick or I need something with more power I move to my 7'11 xtreme.

My son has the 7'4" Rage version.   Many a Guntersville bass has been pulled from various vegetation  over the years.  Excellent rod.

I have the SC Legend X 7'4" HF along with an pair of Avid X 7'F" HF. I use the Legend X as a T-rig (3/8oz tungsten weight with 7-12" worms) and jig (1/2oz or more) rod. The Legend X is a stout rod, but not near as stout as the Avid X. One of the Avid Xs is my pitching and punching rod while the other I use for glide baits, A-rigs, and flutter spoons. I've thrown frogs on the Avid X 7'4" HF, but I find it is a bit overkill for a Scum frog as that stout of a rod with 65lbs braid will start to open up the hooks.
