WOW !!!!! Is all you can say when you first put this new St Croix Legend Xtreme in your hands.This 7ft model weighs in at 3.0 oz.The combo shown here has a 7.2 oz Plueger Supreme MGX. By putting together ART,IPC,Recoil titanium guides with a formula of carbon matte scrim,SCV,and SCVI graphite.The end result is simply the lightest most sensitive rod that St Croix has ever built and even gets the attention of the most diehard brand X loyal users!
The titanium guides do a few things for the overall performance of the rod besides durabilty and weight.Just some of the benefits include increased casting distance,I am guessing approx 20 %.The actual action becomes just a bit faster using the lighter weight guides.I am anticipating the guides will also be a bit more friendly in dealing with ice build up that us cold open water fisherman deal with as well.Obviously,the Recil guides will be a huge benefit in regards to unforgiving boat cleats and rod locker mishaps. 
This is the first of the new models to become available and the rest of the offerings are due in shortly.As always,they are available to demo and experience for your self,the finest rod I have EVER had in my hands! I think when you put it in your hands,you more than likely will agree!
