St. Croix Premier
I'm planning on getting a St. Croix Premier casting rod... I would like to know what model number you guys believe I should get for all around use. I've heard that their Medium is like a Medium Heavy... Is this true?
Also, what reel would you pair with it? Thanks

I don't know much about St. Croix rods, but as far as a reel goes, you can't go wrong with a shimano. If they are a little out of your price range, I'd go with my personal favorite: Daiwa. I started out with a Daiwa Procaster SE ($80) and now I am getting a Daiwa Megaforce ($60) for pnj's and a Daiwa Viento ($200) for my soft plastic rod.
I'm sure someone will be able to help you out with our St. Croix rod question. and I am also sure you'll get mixed opinions on both your questions. BB

I use a St. Croix Premier Medium for top water, mainly because I broke my previous rod and needed one and Dick's had one. I do not have any complaints at all with it. There is nothing exceptional, but also no problems. I know the Avids and others are lighter and more sensitive, but for topwater this was perfect.
I have a Sedona 4000FB, would recommend a smaller size, maybe 2500. For all around use in casting I would suggest a Citica 100 with braid and a Medium Heavy or Medium rod. If you need it then add a fluoro leader. For spinning with this rod a Medium with a Symetre 2500RI reel and light braid (20) and a leader. |

May be try a Shimano Citica 201D for the reel. 6.2:1, lightweight, cast great. That was my first BC reel, and I love it.
