musky rods st croix St. Tannic Musky/Pike Fly Rod St. Croix Legend Elite Musky

Those rods are gone and I fully intend on continuing towards building my crank arsenal with these alone

While there are most definitely performance improvements between an "intermediate priced" rod and one that costs $400 or more, new anglers will not notice the differences

The 71-2 model is ideal for fast retrieves with heavy sinking minnows, twitching with poppers or jerkbaits, and skipping with sinking pencils, and its shorter length makes it easy to handle even in the narrow confines of a charter boat

A month of fishing with a spinning reel tells us very little about its potential longevity, but so far so good and I will report back in due course
