purchased the jerk and the marshal. definitely have softer tips than what I'm used to but the marshal has been a phenomenal swim jig rod. always had issues hooking up on a swim jig till I purchased this rod and hookup rating is around 95%. very lightweight rods. the jerk I've been using as a walking bait and popper rod now that summer is here but can't wait till spring to throw a 110 jerk bait on it

Just bought a 6'8" med, extra fast today at the Tackle Shack in Wellsboro Pa. Paired it with a 300 Lews Carbon Lite reel and 10 pound JBraid, directly tied on a rapala ultralight minnow. Went under the bridge in Galeton Pa. And the first 4 casts landed 4 brown trout right in a row. This rod is super sensitive! I swear you can feel the wakes in the line as the trout run up on the lure! I have 17 St. Croix rods premier's, avids to legend tournaments and this just became number 1.. two thumbs up

I have bought the 610MLEF, loved it so much I bought a second, the reason why I have 2 is because I used to use 68MEF for wacky's and slipping docks and such, but the Victory 610 is so versatile that it is the truest "in--between" a Medium and medium light rod I have ever used. It has a stronger backbone than most ML's more like a M, but a soft extra-fast tip like a ML... It really thrives in tossing 1/4oz lure/b baits, but Can easily go as low as 1/16, but 1/2 is where I draw the line. I use it for lighter jerkbaits, 1/4 tubes, wacky's, nekos, damikis, and dropshots, however I feel like it was designed for ned rigs or 1/4 small swim jigs. I do plenty of smallmouth fishing and it drives in the hook with ease, loads up and bombs a cast, and the blank can handle the head shakes and surges we all know big brown and green bass deliver. This rod is extremely light so pairing it with a light 2500 will suit you well. I have a 2500 ballastic and vanford on mine, 10lb braid to 8lb flouro leader and that my friends is a superb combo... I will no longer buy high-end megabass or loomis rods.... when I wade the river & finesse fish smallmouth, this is always the rod i take! Well done St. Croix!!! please don't discontinue anytime soon!!!!
