Im going to get a new light action rod soon and would like some recommendations. Its just the rod. Price range isaround $100. Right now, I'm looking at the St. Croix 6-7 ft.

Any opinions?

Also, does anyone have reviews for the St. Croix?

I love my St. Croixs. 6'6" is my personal favorite for trout fishing, but the 7ft is nice to, just depends what you like.

I have a shimano teramar and love it and it has a lifetime warranty. I think it cost 100

PM <SPAN id=_ctl1_ctlTopic_ctlPanelBar_ctlTopicsRepeater__ctl13_lblPostSignature>BigFishKB, he builds rods and prides himself on quality at a good price. He might be able to help.

I got hooked on a couple of Star light tackle rods and have used them alot this year.

If I remember correctly, it's a 7' 8-12# rod that I use 30# braid on with a little Penn 430ssg.

A friend bought it for me as a gift and I'vecaught a ton of inshore fish on it and I also use it for jigging for hardtails at the rigs. I've had a lot of customs and several ST. Croix's and this one has out-performed them all. Despite the soft tip, it's got alot more backbone than I ever expected.While bait fishing on the rigs forhardtail, I've caught everything from keeper snapper, kings, jack crevalle, scampand even keeper AJ on it. I was so impressed with it that I went and bought another a few months ago.

I can get the exact model off the rod if your interested.

i have a 7' premier series (black blank)St. Croix... it's medium light action, perfect for throwing doa's or flyline a shrimp... cost me about $90 bucks at GBB&T.
