mhx rods vs st croix St. Coat slow cure finish on guides 7' MHF ST. CROIX AVID

On a recent trip to the Transkei, where we fished some estuaries with light spinning tackle, one of the most rewarding ways of catching fish was on surface lures

Their expanded range encompasses much of the United States and Southern Canadaincluding every US state except Alaska, Florida, and Louisiana (yes, theyre even in Hawaii)

If you lose it, its $15 bucks. I picked a 76 medium heavy cranking rod and before I could tie on, Jack slowed the boat and said, Not enough rod for what we are about to do! I went back to the box and picked an old 8 heavy Powell rod that I had won in a tournament years earlier

In the last 8 years of heavy use streamer fishing, a few Florida trips, and a trip to the Bahamas, the drag has never faltered

Has some bend in the blank when casting and a soft tip with a good amount of backbone
