Nicky.YYZ Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 First Post Here. Which is the one to get? St. Croix Legend Tournament Bass 7'6'' (telescopic) 7'11'' 8' (telescopic) Quote
Super User Hammer 4 Posted March 26, 2010 Super User Posted March 26, 2010 The lenght depends on what You like, I'm a tad over 6' and I prefer a 7'6" rod, I find that my 7'11" is too long, and my 7' is a tad on the short side, but good if you cast from shore, and have alot of trees ect that limit you..Never tried a telescopic though, imho if your flippin jigs, you need as much sensitivity as possible, and I'm not sure a tele rod would have that..? I would try and opt for a 1 pc. rod if it's possible. Quote
Nicky.YYZ Posted March 26, 2010 Author Posted March 26, 2010 Thanks, I am only 14 and am 5'9 so I think I'll go with the 7'6. I have a Loomis GL2 thats 7'6'' and is tel, the only thing wrong with it is if you wanna keep it looking nice its difficult. Quote

Super User ww2farmer Posted March 26, 2010 Super User Posted March 26, 2010 I had (key word is HAD) the 7'6" Legend Tournament rod even though it was rated as a MH it fished like a H or more powerfull rod. I rid myself of that rod for one reason, balance was terrible, in fact the worse of any rod I have ever owned, even with bigger reels on it like Citica 201D's and Quantum Accurist Pt's, both 9.5- 10 oz. reels, it took a lot of weight to balance it and I just was never comfortable with it.
