xxroosterxx Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 do you think the legend med light baitcasting rod will have enough backbone for shakey head fishing Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted December 10, 2009 Super User Posted December 10, 2009 If you're talking about the Legend Tournament 6'9" ML-XF casting model, yes it does; at least for me it does. I don't have the spinning version of that rod, so I can't comment. Quote
mozy Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 It does, but I think you would be happier with the 6'8" MXF. I have it in spinning and it's a great rod with really good backbone. Quote
TruiteBR Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 It does, but I think you would be happier with the 6'8" MXF. I have it in spinning and it's a great rod with really good backbone. I am interested in the same rod, but in the casting version. Do you think it can handle 1/2oz jigs? Quote
cbfishalot Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 I have the rod in a spinning version and it's a great rod. It would be fine in a casting model for shakey heads in lower weights 1/16 - 3/16oz. With the extra fast tip you will get the hook point into the fish. The St. Criox has labled the 68MLXF as a drop shot rod in there legend tournament series. Quote
xxroosterxx Posted December 12, 2009 Author Posted December 12, 2009 thanks i just pulled the trigger on it... gonna try it out this weekend Quote

I wouldn't use this rod for large jigs. A 1/2oz jig plus the trailer is pretty heavy, a bit too much for this stick. Quote
mozy Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 The new 7' MHXF Legend tournament would be a good rod for 1/2 oz jigs. The 6'8" MXF isn't quite stout enough. Quote
TruiteBR Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 What jig size can the 6'8" MXF handle? Would it be good for senkos, >=1/4oz texas rig and >=3/8oz jigs? Quote
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted December 12, 2009 Super User Posted December 12, 2009 What jig size can the 6'8" MXF handle?Would it be good for senkos, >=1/4oz texas rig and >=3/8oz jigs? I use mine for 4' senkos, 1/4oz finesse jigs, and 1/4oz T-rigs. If you're going to be throwing a lot of 3/8oz jigs, I'd go up to a MH. If you only toss them ocassionally, and usually stick with 1/4oz stuff, plus the plastic, This rod should be just fine. Quote
TruiteBR Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Does anyone know the application difference between the XC70MF and the XC68MXF? I know the XC68MXF is x-fast and shorter, but both have medium power. Quote
