That St. Croix may be expensive, but she'll last you the rest of your life. I have a 6 1/2 foot modle that I use for albies and bonito, and my dad has a 10 footer for bass/blues, both cast like a dream and handle fish well. Although I do have an 8' Ugly Stik I use for casting lures, which is fine as long as you're targeting fish under 15 lbs. Any fish bigger than that and the rod becomes just to whippy.
