Could I get some feed back on these rods please? I'm talking the two 10'6" models....3/4-4 oz plugging and the 2-6 oz jigging rod. Are they worth the money? Is the plugging rod a 100 yard rod with 30 braid and the right plug? Because they have low rider guides do I have to use a smaller reel with a smaller diameter spool? and if so, wouldn't that cut down my distance? so are these rods a catch 22 when it comes to reaching 100 yards with a plug? All casting is snap(thump) casting.......thanks in advance for any help :)

Rob,

Welcome, good to have you on board. I'm sure someone here can help you out, or try the rodbuilder's forum. Have fun,there's plenty of good folks here.

thanks for the welcome....I'm trying to research these rods before I lay out the big $ I will try posting in the rod building forum

Pretty sure Red Top would let you go cast several.

You might want to look around for a zziplex if you're thinking of spending the $$ on a legend. Can probably get the zziplex for the same or less and you have a much better blank, IMO. I've been fishing with the 10' sea raider and its the best all around rod I've ever fished.

I don't know anything about the blank/rod, but there is a great article in OTW about those smaller guides and their spacing. In any event, try to use that rod before spending the $$$.

It is an awesome rod. I used one for the entire season last year, really put it to the test and it performed great. I used the one rated 3/4-4 oz. (LLS106MM2) I favor lighter rods as a rule.

I was able to throw poppers up to 4.5 oz., with no problem as well as fish red fins with it and still feel every pulse on the kick. It is a super light rod too. I fished it with the Zee 25 w/ 50# Sufix and it did everything I wanted to in terms of casting or muscling pigs. The new concept guide system is awesome! It really does make a difference.

The only small draw-back was it is not a great bucktailing rod, just a little too stiff, not nearly as stiff as let's say the Super Surf. If I hit Montauk (or equal) I would change it up.

One of the main attractions is the warranty. If you break it, you pay$60 no questions asked...and that is only if it is your fault.
I really need that warranty to! :jump1:

As a firsthand witness on the cutty ferry, I'd have to agree...:laugha:

Guys.....Thanks for the heads up.......
