I have a major concern
"I have a major concern about the Legend X2 casting rod line up. I have three casting and one spinning rod in this series. I purchased them because of the technology you use to build your blanks. However, the two Medium Heavy casting rods I have (LXTC73MHF and LXTC71MHXF do not qualify as Medium Heavy in my estimation. These rods are closer to Medium power. In addition, I purchased a LXTC74HF. This rod is more than Heavy. I would classify it as an XX Heavy Mag Bass. So there is a power gap in your rod line up between rods that fish like Light Medium Heavy if not Medium, to Extra Heavy rods that shut off very high up in the blank making casting and pitching difficult because of the lack of a more flexible tip. I’m in love with rods that I already owned with similar power ratings that reflect a more traditional embodiment of those ratings. I wanted to love your rods too, but I bought them for bottom-bumping presentations and the only one that will truly work for my power fishing style will be the 7’4” Heavy, (jigs in 1/2 ounce and above only due to the overly stiff tip. ) I don’t perceive myself as too demanding regarding these issues, but maybe I am. These rods are ok, but I’m dubious as to whether or not they are worth over $600.00 and the issue here is not craftsmanship or components. The issue is utility."
Great rod! The sensitivity is
"Great rod! The sensitivity is unmatched."
Great rods!!!
"Great rods!!!"
Super light and powerful
"Super light and powerful"
"Performs and looks exactly how I expect a high end St. Croix to. Best rods on Earth for a reason! Only rods I buy and will every buy, St. Croix for life!"
Best of them all
"I thought nothing could be more sensitive than my Extreme. . but I was wrong. This new model is simply the real deal. In fact I’d rate them like this: Legend X2, Extreme, then the Elite for walleye fishing."
Simply THE best rod St.
"Simply THE best rod St. Croix Rods has ever made. Period!"
Never fatigue casting this all
"Never fatigue casting this all day. Unmatched sensitivity. Get a spinning MF, casting MHMF, and casting HF. Those three rods will cover all bass techniques."
I bought a few models
"I bought a few models of these rods and have to say wow, these rods are the real deal. They are light, not Nrx light, but balanced better so they feel as light in hand if not lighter. They are as sensitive as an Nrx and way more powerful, you don’t feel like they’re a light sensitive rod. They are beautiful rods, powerful, comfortable, balanced and ultra sensitive as sensitive as any I’ve used. 10/10. Problem is once you buy one you’ll want more."
