The simplest thing for you to do is to go to Shimano's web page, download the pdf version of their catalog (it's free) and review the rod section. The rod section of the catalog will tell you the applications these rods are best suited for according to the horse's mouth.
http://www.shimano.com/publish/conte.../catalogs.html You can probably do the same for the St. Croix. You have a pretty solid arsenal BTW. I also have a crucial, and a clarus, but different models.

You probably need to experiment around a little with them, but based on the information you gave in the same order as you listed the rods I would start with this
jig (pitching/casting) jig/carolina rig (pitching/flipping) worm Rod crankbaits or spinnerbaits. Those would be starting points for me anyway untill I found how they did and adjust accordingly.

been on the water three times now with these rods and so far these are the set up that i have been using.
top water jigs crankbait texas rig/carolina but this last trip seems that i like the clarus for feeling the bottom so i agree with you basstech,so i will switch the two bottom on the list.thanks guys!!!! |
