Rainy Posted July 13, 2023 Posted July 13, 2023 I'm looking at a 7'11 St.Croix LTG ive always been a Shimano guy and had the Zodias 7'6G but that ended up breaking thanks to a ceiling fan that i didn't want but the wife wanted.. ( needless to say its that fan is no longer up there ) So this next rod will either be one of the two. Only reason why im flirting on these two rods is because the Zodias has recently been updated and i know the rod will preform well versus Croix having 15 year warranty. I'm not really a Croix guy but im open to hear your opinions. Quote
Pogues2300 Posted July 13, 2023 Posted July 13, 2023 No experience with st. Croix glass as I prefer graphite. I own st croix rods on the lower end and was super impressed. I’m basically bumping the thread so you get a response from someone who knows ? 1 Quote
Big Hands Posted July 13, 2023 Posted July 13, 2023 I've put hands on the Legend Tournament Glass rods at my local tackle shop (several times actually as they have caught my attention), and they are surprisingly lightweight and feel like they have a great action for crankbaits. Not sure how I feel about the thickness of them as they are relatively thick. My concern about that is that when it's windy, that can be a little irritating to me to have that wind resistance that comes with thicker rods. I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to try one. 1 Quote
Super User Boomstick Posted July 15, 2023 Super User Posted July 15, 2023 My kid has a 7’2 Mojo Glass M/M rod. I never used it but he loves the rod because of how far it can cast and he has no problem landing fish on crankbaits and jerkbaits. Probably not much help. Quote
Super User FishTank Posted July 15, 2023 Super User Posted July 15, 2023 I have the 7'2'' Med Mod. Legend Glass and love it. It handles about 50% of my cranking but the 7'11'' is a beast of a rod. I have only held it and for most of the 1/2oz cranks I thought it was too heavy. I would guess that 3/4-1oz is the sweet spot for this rod. 2 Quote
Super User bulldog1935 Posted July 15, 2023 Super User Posted July 15, 2023 I have the same rod as @FishTank and like this rod immensely. Great blank, very-well made, and light for glass. But you do feel the weight compared to graphite. I'd be worried 7'11" faster-tip glass would be tip-heavy. (My older Falcon Glass rods are 6' and 6-1/2'). 1 Quote
Rainy Posted July 15, 2023 Author Posted July 15, 2023 Thank you all for your opinions, today I ended up buying a G.Loomis IMX Pro 906 CBR 4 Quote
