Ship, I have a Legend Elite that I have had for some time...It is a 9' 6wt and I use it for Blue Gills during spawn.I have also caught a few crappie with it but not many...Some folks will say that a 6wt is too much but it works for me..I am not a professional fly fisherman but catching gills with popping bugs is a lot of fun..
St Croix makes quality rods.....
