St Croix LTB Help

[ghost]

I've been wanting a 2009 Kistler Helium LTA 6'9" MH baitcast rod for general use but I have credit w/ Cabelas. I ordered one & it came it this past weekend. I drove a couple hours to the Cabelas store to find out that they shipped a 2008 Helium LTA. I talked to Cabelas cs & they won't be getting in any 2009 LTA till mid July. They have pics of the 2009 LTA on their catalog & website but they are still shipping out 2008 models!

So I still want a U.S.A. made rod & want split grip, Loomis doesn't have a rod like that unless it's custom. I know that Cabelas carries the St Croix LTB & would like to know which of there LTB would be similar to the Helium LTA 6'9" MH. I would think the 7' spinnerbait would be the closest but what is the Teaser model?

Just wish that St Croix has a 6'9" MH baitcast rod in the LTB, I really like that length it seems that it's perfect for most applications. I don't care for a 6'6' MH rod cuz I think it's just a bit too stiff for most applications.

Don't know if this will help, as I've never fished the Teaser, but I've been told the 'fast' rating is spot-on.  I've also been told the 7ft, MH LTB is a meat stick.

I think there is a good description on each of the rods on the st criox site. But I own the teaser model and its a great rod for senkos and tubes. Its primary for me a light cover soft plastics rod. I use it for mainly tubes and beavers in light grass.  The rod is very sensitive but I do feel you have to play the fish with this rod.
