as stated before, i have legend tournaments as well as extremes for multiple applications. i just wanted to know if anybody had used this particular rod.

with that said, i took the trek to cabelas and handled one in person and was sorely disappointed. the rod is like a wet noodle. distraut, i thought i would have them bring me the legend walleye 7 ' MHM (because the legend bass was d/c in 7' and moved up to 7'8 mhm). did some bend tests on the rod and was more impressed by this rod then i've been by a lot of legends. craig at st croix told me the lure rating on the rod ( 1/2-3oz) was so people wouldn't be scared to use 1oz weights bottom bouncing. compared the old legend bass to this new legend walleye and was blown away by how much better it felt than the old bass. upgrading rod this week.
