There is an eBay seller who has the Tatula CT for 109 or best offer. I offered 100 and he took it. He has a bunch so I bet he'll sell more at that price. Even 109 is a great deal. You can also snag the lews tournament mb for under 120.

25lb is really heavy. That's why you are having problems. 12lb is much much more manageable.

I laugh at that every time I see it. 18 bearings...lol. They must just dump some garbage bearings inside the reel.

My Legend Tournament and Rage rods both have this. It's funny because I bought the Legend used and I freaked out when I noticed that and thought it was a repair. It's just something st Croix does.

There was only one left and it's gone. Also different vendors will have different prices. Not everything on their website is actually sold by Walmart.

That is quite light.

Same here. It's so hard to say no.

Fantastic deal. I bought the MH XF from Redsgear for the same price last week. The rod is extremely light and has a ton of backbone. Very sensitive also. Instantly became by favorite rod for senkos and other heavier soft plastics.

Probably has something to do with the new Mojos being built on a scIII blank and being close to the price range of the Rage. Also the handle probably turned people off. $50 for a rod built on that blank is an absolute steal though. You can't even buy the blank for that cheap.

Seriously. That stuff is magic in a bottle.

Ordered my rods by phone yesterday and they already shipped. The rep on the phone was very nice and helpful. My Legend Tournament is my only experience with st croix so I'm excited to try these out.

Called in and ordered two. Could not resist for that price.

This. Shimano Symetre and the Daiwa Fuego can be had near that price on eBay.

Try to get ahold of a Tatula and try it mounted on a rod before you buy one. I came from using only abu and lews reels and tried a Tatula and hated it because of how it palmed. It was a very nice and great performing reel but that killed it for me and I sold it.

I did the same, got them in today. They look quality. Gonna try to fish them tomorrow.

I got a Lews Pro G in recently and love it. Much nicer reel than my Lews SS Tournament and even my 13 A. American Legacy Fishing has them for $150.

Dobyns fury 734c - $110 Lews Speed Spool LFS 6.8:1($80 on eBay) That would be a very versatile setup.

It's the same blank material as the avid (scIII), not the ltb(scIV). I've heard good things though. I want to check them out, might end up buying one.

Depends on the technique. If you want a good all around rod a MH F is hard to beat.

Lews Speed Spool Tournament Pro G ($160) and a Daiwa Tatula 7'1 MH XF($90).

You're gonna get a ton of different answers, a lot of quality gear in that price point. Here's a few of my recommendations. Reels Shimano Curado 200i hg (can be had for around 130 on eBay) Lews Speed Spool Tournament Pro G 7.5:1 (150 on eBay) Daiwa Tatula Type R 8.1 (130 or 140 on eBay) Rods Daiwa Tatula Phenix Maxim Kistler Magnesium 2 Abu Veritas 2.0 St Croix Avid Go with whatever length you prefer in a MH F or xf

Get the LFS, it's has an aluminum frame. Best reel you can get for 80 bucks.

These dudes make some nice ones. Just go all in and get that sweet hawg handle lol. https://www.hawgtech.com/

First setup looks like a good one for single hook baits. Worms, jigs, etc.. I'd throw crankbaits on the second one.
