Stcroix Legend Elite 7 ft MF ?

Anybody using this spinning rod ? If so how are you fishing it? Just got the mlf for the lighter baits. Just need to here from those who currently are using the MF. Thanks for your time Don

I have two of these rods…My favorite rods out of over 35 rods I currently have. I use them for walleye fishing pitching jigs to wingdams on the river and also Smallmouth bass fishing tubes and drop shots. You will be more than happy with this rod.

I have to agree with kwp, I have a 7′ mlf it is a great rod. I use it a lot for jigs and light rigging as I am mostly a walleye guy. I think i will buy a 7′ mf next for slightly heavier applications.

Have two 70MLF and a 610MLXF.. the 70 is my favorite.

I’m also looking at these same 7′ rods for pitching jigs to walleyes and smallmouth bass, everything from 1/4 oz. on deeper current or wing dams to 1/8 oz. on shorelines. Is one or the other a better all around choice, or is it a case of owning one of each? (the $400 question…)

That is the question:?:

Don, I’m relieved that you asked that. I was feeling like a schmuck for hijacking your thread. Sound like we have the same thing in mind.

I use mine for just about everything. I mostly fish with jigs 1/4 to 1/8 oz depends how deep I’m fishing.

Seeing im about 6 miles from the plant my ocd got the best of me and i am now the proud owner of the legend elite 7ft mf . Quick Stick its appears owning one of each was the path i went.Id like to thank everyone who responded. Anybody else have something to contribute or comment on these rods please do so. Thanks Don

Thanks, Don! I’m leaning toward the 7′ MLF. I have a 6’9″ Avid MXF I can keep using for heavier jobs. I can’t swing both in one year.

Update….leaning to the 6′-10″ MXF.

x3, my go to walleye and SM rod with jigs.

I have two as well. Lindy rigs,jig,jig raps, rippin raps, bobbers the list goes on. Probably the most versatile rods I have.

I’m looking for just jig pitching specialist and not an all-arounder.

It is an excellent jig rod I use that rod pitching the river and also Mlxf and Mxf. All are excellent performers. But it is. Ice to have the ability to use a rod for more then one thing.

The 68mxf is by far my favorite jig pitching rod, especially with the use of mono. My second choice would be the 7 ft mf. The 70 mf is probably one of the most versatile rods made. The 610mxf while it sounds good on paper , was one of the very few disappointing rods I have used. It feels more like a heavy action than a medium in my opinion. I think the bass guys will love it, but from my experience it just wasn’t what I was hopping for.

Dean, thank you for weighing in here! I’m taking your comment and running with it. The 68MXF is what I’ll be getting.
