The lightest most sensitive panfish rod I have ever used.
I own all three panfish rods available and this one out does the others, smoothest casting rod I’ve ever owned
I’m an exclusive ultralight(UL) fisherman and have used many UL rods from the top tier manufacturers. The St.Croix Legend Elite panfish is by far the most sensitive and responsive rod I have used. The build quality is S tier, not a single flaw or miss-wrap anywhere. The coating is perfect in every way and the QA/QC was preformed on the highest level.
The split grip is extremely comfortable and is well thought out. The seats lock tight and never need re-tightening. The cork is smooth and finished wonderfully. The guides are quiet and allow very light braids to easily slip through.
The blank has appropriate strength and is easily loaded with repeatable feedback. Under load the rod felt well balanced and predictable. Sensitivity is Incredible, it’s such an upgrade from the Premier series. I can literally feel the blades on a 1/32 spinner; it’s incredible! Pair this rod with a 500 or 1000 size reel with 4lb braided mainline and a 8X leader and you will be blown away. If you’re looking for the most sensitive, balanced and well built UL rod look no further.
Lightest most sensitive rod I ever used for panfish. Great castability and you feel everything. A blade of grass, light biting panfish and different bottom compositions are easily felt. An absolute pleasure to fish.
Over two years ago I tried buying this rod but it wasn’t available. I got a shorter 6’4†model and immediately knew I had the best rod style for my panfish trips to the Shenandoah River. Now I have the 7’ model I’ve wanted all this time and I couldn’t be any happier with my choice once again. St Croix quality is second to none!
