St Croix: Help me compare, please

I have the 10' Premier. THe sweet spot is about 2 1/2 to 3 oz. It still casts Bombers and 3/4 oz bucks pretty well. That ran me about $190. My buddy just bought a Mojo. He hasn't gotten it yet though. I can give you an update if you like when he does receive it.

I can say that the customer service is great. I have 5 year warranty on the Premier. The first time I sent it back my nephew broke the bottom ferrule of the top half in the car door and when I brought in to the house my wife closed the door on the tip. They replaced it no questions asked. I then broke the tip when I hooked my boot and lifted the rod at the same time. Again they replaced it without a problem. They are also nice as pie on the phone.

I have the 9' legend. Raised flock grips and light as a feather but yet strong. I did a lot of rock hopping with it last year and no problems. I know it's expensive but in my opinion it's well worth it. It's a rod I will use forever and the customer service is top notch. Last year the tip broke if the truck window. Took it to a dealer the next day and they replaced it with a new one on the spot. No questions asked. It's rated 3/4 - 4 and the sweet spot is 2 - 3. At 4 oz I find I have to lob the plug.

If you are using eels this rod is sweet. I can literally feel the eel breathing...it is that sensitive. And when the eel is about to get eaten the excitement can be felt through the rod so well that you know you are about to get a strike

The only drawback I have and it's minor, is that it does not have quite enough "whip" in the tip for working pencil poppers on the surface. I think the 10'6" model will provide a little more whip at the tip

While it is very light it also has plenty of backbone. I have taken stripers as large as 41" thus far on it.

Also, this was a gift to me. But would I buy one myself...absolutely. To me the combination of sensitivity and strength combined with an unbeatable warranty make this rod well worth it. Plus it's so light I can throw plugs all night long without throwing out my shoulder

I bought the Legend MH 2-6 back in February and while I haven't put it through its paces quite yet, I have thrown a few various plugs with it and it performed. It has no problem throwing 2 oz's of metal so I'm thinking that it'll throw a little less as well. I'm just not sure how light I can go with it though. I'll find out soon enough.
