been looking at getting one of these either in the 7' lite or 6'9 ultra lite, like i really need another rod. i was wondering if anybody new of a store that carried them in stock. would love to put my hands on it before i bought it rather than order it and not like it. im close to hattiesburg, ms and academy doesn't carry st croix, dick's doesn't stock em, no gander. we have a bass pro bout 65 miles from here. would make the trip if i knew they were on the shelf.
I have the 7 footer and it's a great rod. Cabelas has them on the rack if you have one of those close by.
Dicks in Tupelo had them earlier .Haven't been by there lately .
Can't help you on where to find one, but I put my hands on a 7ft light. Great feeling rod, very light weight and the extra fast action gives it plenty of backbone. It will be my next crappie rod purchase.
There is a gander mt in hattiesburg,ms. I was just there last month while visiting my daughter. they carry a huge selection of st Croix rods. didn't buy a rod but lots of tackle and a tackle box to put it in. google it to get their address.
Cabelas has them on the shelf. I purchased a 6'6" Split grip Premier PS66LF2SG last week in the Louisville Ky. store for casting jigs. Looking forward to trying it out this weekend.
I recently bought a 7ft light action trout series... It's a great rod for trout... I've caught a few crappie on it good feel for that too!
I bought an ultralight 7ft SC rod some years ago that I still use for trout. I've tried using it for crappies but I just don't like the feel when fishing for them. It's way too limber, tip wise, for my taste. I prefer my 5.5ft B&M dockshooter or my Wally Marshall 7ft for jigging for crappies.
