What is your favorite St. Croix?

[Sportland_Bait]

Just looking at the St Croix line up of rods and I was just wondering which models do you guys like the best for walleye fishing?

I absolutely love my Thorne bros built 6'3" croix on a 5S63mxf blank. I've never used a more sensitive jigging rod. The cross over to a Croix built rod would be LES63mxf.

[PerchJerker]

I use 7' ML rods with Fast tips a lot, unless I'm rigging with more than 1/4 ounce of weight and then I 'beef up' to a M or MH rod.

I have a 6-6 St Croix legend rod in ML action and love it.

[Quetico]

I have a 7' ML Legend Elite. I love that rod. Use it for slow drifting and dragging rigs. I also use it throwing jigs for crappies and 'eyes.

[JohnMickish]

My favorite? Well, if I'm lindy fishing it's my 76MLF Legend Tournement, if I'm using crankbaits it's my Mojo crankbait rod, if I am bottom bounding, depending on weight I use either my Legend Tournement 7' MHM casting or 7' Legend Tournement MM spinning rod. Trolling big cranks for northerns I like my Pro Glass 6'6" casting rod.

IMO the St. Croix Legend Tournement series rules!

When I'm fishing male walleyes with jigs I like using the 6'6" L Elite that a built for myself a couple years ago. Second choice would be a tournament that I made at 6'9" ML x-fast. St. Croix makes a decent rod but really I would only want the blank.

[DUCKAHOLIC]

for jigging my "go to" rod is my 6'6 elite ML.. i love that rod

[mozy]

6'8" MXF Legend Tournament. Love this rod.

[JohnMickish]

6'8" MXF Legend Tournament. Love this rod.

Thats the next one I'm going to add.

My trusty ol' 6'6" Premier in ML Action.. Took eyes up to 11 lbs out in the westernmost side of the midwest.. Took hybrid stripers up to 14 lbs launching 1/2 oz lipless cranks at times on 6 lb flourocarbon on the dam faces of prairie reservoirs. And enough trout to make you sick. Next, I'll hafta get a 7' Legend M Action.. The northerns and muskies in these areas are a whole different ball game for me!

I love St. Croix rods!!

[Chode2235]

All around favorite is my 6'6" Avid MLF. For jigging, I love the 6'3" MXF Legend Tournament rods.

[stifler51]

i think if i got any that i was gonna spend the money on id get the Legend tourny walleye series - jig and rig rod. i think thats my best all around go to rod, but i hate re-rigging all the time so i have 4 Legend tourny walleye rods i like being able to go oh their tapping that lets see if they like this and toss them something new.

[eskimo9]

6'-3" Med x-fast legend for jigging cant be beat!

[rodmaker]

I love my 7' (extended the handle to make it 7'9") Legend Elite ML. Spinning rod.

Building a 8'6" Steelhead blank Med action, legend Elite. Going to make an awesome Mille Lacs Mud rod. Makes using those 8-10' snells a breeze.

Another sweet heart is the G. Loomis HSR 9000 either in IMX or GLX.

[LipRipper!!]

I have a Legend Tournement 6'8" MXF and like it alot but my go to favorite is my Loomis IMX MHF.(MO)

[Heatseeker]

A+

[Kodiak]

i picked up a avid 7' ml fast action, havent used it yet, going to iowa next weekend for the IGL easter seals tourney,,,,heard they are good rods. Those new fenwicks look nice too.

[solbes]

Haven't tried the Legend Elite rods yet, on purpose

I do like my Avid 6'6" Med/Fast though. It may not excel at everything, but it does a good job with all but vertical jigging where I need a little more sensitivity.

[Hory]

G-Loomis Rods are where it's at.... I don't mess around with St. Croix's!

[Tator2k]

Cranking I use a 7MHF Premier. Plastics and Tubes a 7' Mojo and pannies a 6' Triumph LF

[Kodiak]

haha

[trolloni]

St Croix Legend elite 6. 3 . medium lite , drive to Park Falls they have a real nice showroom and you can buy factory seconds at a huge saving over retail only get a 1 year warranty instead of a lifetime.Hory sorry for youre tunnelvision ,i got 2 loomis rods as a gift and thankfully the givers included the the sales reciept they were propmtly brought back to Owatonna and replaced with the legends,no comparison in my opinion!

how can you tell if the walleyes are male or female before you catch them?
