FISHUSA has some in stock so they are starting to ship out.
I bought mine directly from St Croix . I think they are the only ones that have them right now .
Just Google St. Croix 2022 Panfish series .
The Panfish and Trout rods are $125 and up .
I recently bought a 5’6” Fenwick Eagle 2 from Dicks Sporting Goods , that fished pretty good the other day . Nice rod for $60 .

Ordered mine from Omnia so I can get 10% off. It was delivered today.
I did get the 6'4" LF. Fished it once. Very nice rod. The handle is very comfortable though I'm not sure how it would feel when wet. Might be slippery. The rod itself is nice and sensitive. Even felt when my jighead would hit grasses. It's rated for 1/16-1/4oz and I fished some 1/32 and 1/8oz lures. It casted and worked the 1/32oz jigs perfectly. Also fished the 1/8oz jerkbait really well. Don't think I'd feel comfortable jigging a 1/8 or 1/4oz on it though. I think that would put too much pressure on the tip.

My 5’10” light action should be here tomorrow.
I plan on using it for beetlespins, Roostertails, and some weightless plastic baits .
I got to fish the 6’ UL a couple days ago and the handle fishes ok . Feels small in my hand . I prefer the older model handle or the regular Fuji handle . Maybe it’s just different and I need to get use to it .
The grip is ok
I just sold a vigilante 56 light action that I think was a fast taper also. Great rod for tight quarters and handled any fish I ever caught on it nicely. Maybe Slabprowler will chime in and tell of it if hes had a chance to use it. Weighed very little.
Creativity is just intelligence fooling around
