St Croix Legend Xtreme Inshore Spinning & Casting Rods

Great sensitive rod with plenty of backbone. Comes with a protective rod sock. The handle takes a little getting use to. Great hook keeper that doesn’t dig into your hand. I have this paired up with a Sustain 4000 the model with the kickstand and it pairs well with it. If price is a issue I would consider the new Avid (teal) instead which is also a great rod that has the same hook keeper now. The previous gen Avid (brown) hook keeper would die into your fingers where it was placed and designed.

Everything I expected from St. Croix

Excellent Rod - extremely well built. I have the MF and MLF and either is excellent paired with a 3000 series for light inshore trout and redfishing. 15 year warranty is proof that St. Croix believes in their products and stands behind them.

I really like Rod the craftsmanship is excellent it has a very fast tip with plenty of backbone since purchasing it I've only had the opportunity to fluke fish up to 70' water no problem feeling the bite and a pleasure fishing it all day going to purchase the spinning version but they are back ordered at the moment

The rods stained on the handles with the first use. St Croix states that is not a manufacturing defect and want to charge me$80 per rod to replace. They are right it is a design defect! $400 rod -pretty pathetic

I have had this rod for two yrs now and have caught many fish. My biggest is a 7 lb catfish. It's precise, very sensitive and casts amazing. It's so sensitive that I can feel the objects while the sinker is moving on the bottom and can normally tell if it's a hard or soft bottom etc given the right circumstances (wind, current etc). Solid and have shown no wear what so ever and looks new apart from some dirt that I need to clean :) The handle is amazing to and the material is great to the touch and easy to clean. I have the medium spinning with 30 lb braid but looking to change to 15 lb instead. Using with a shimano sustain 3000. Amazing combo, very light and very balanced! Can fish all day. I use it with many rigs, paternoster rig, carolina rigs, drop shots, all kinds stuff. I've even casted a paternoster rig with a 3 oz sinker and no problems!

Have 2 of these so far paired them with the new Stradic 3000FK's with 15 pound power pro braid throwing the hybrid Live target Shrimp 3/8oz lure for Snook,Reds, & Trout. Cast the shrimp a mile and couldn't ask for much more out of this rod. I have yet to have a problem with the white turning yellow and I fish just about everyday. My only complaint is I wish they would make a 7'6" or even an 8'. I plan on adding a MLF and MHF to the arsenal of legend xtremes I have.

Combined with a Quantum Smoke inshore this is my go to combo for casting inshore artificial baits for drum and speckled trout. The grip is comfortable for all day sight casting and has plenty of power to get the lure out to the grass line.

I have been an ugly stik man since childhood. I finally decided to see what all the hype was about with premium rods. The first time I held it, I knew I was in a different ballgame. In terms of sensitivity and weight, I had never felt anything like it before. I am a believer! Great product! I will buy another.

i have doubled, if not tripled the amount of fish i catch with this pole....this thing has insane sensitivity.......great warranty too
