Does St Croix still make the all glass rods.. ???

I have a St Croix 7 footer med crank rod and use it primarly for vertical jigging deep water sea trout and grays. It has the backbone to handle a 42 inch striper and yet is soft enough for a 15 inch trout not to rip his mouth off. If I where to add one to my arsenal it would be an 8 footer.

I'd go with the crucial or the lowrider.

Personally I use a Cabela`s E-Glass Rod... Why because they are Cheap and Effective in losing less fish because of the Forgiveness factor with them. But I will also say that I use Braided Line so I can feel every little nibble or bit of contact that my lure might come in contact with. I use a Monofilament Leader tied in front of the Braided Line also for Stretch Purposes,but hey that`s what works for me best... B.F.M.

Have you had a chance to look at the new Quantum tour KVD rods? I've only seen them at BPS & Tackle Warehouse but they run right at $149.
