Broke my St. Croix Legend Elite - - Change rods???

[Captain Ahab]

I could just cry! Yesterday i managed to snap my St. Croix Legend Elite light duty fresh water rod. This rod is the pride of my collection - and now this is the 3rd time I broke it!

It does have a lifetime warranty so I will, once again, send it back to St. Croix for replacement.

I am thinking about trading it for another St. Croix rod - looking at the Legend Tournament Bass rods, anyone have any experience with those?

This would be a step down from the Legend elite but might serve my purposes better

Well this is the 3rd rod - they replaced the last 2


It kinda sucks because they changed the reel seat since i purchased the 1st one

I think the only picture you would get is of Dave crying. I think his recent saltwater rod and reel combo purchase has lessened the blow of breaking this rod for the third time

Wow, That sucks man! However regarding the Legend Tournament, I couldn't imagine there being a HUGE difference between the two could there? Especially as far as durability? Is there something you just like better about the Tournament?

It is more geared toward bass fishing from a boat - and $100.00 less!
