idk man thay sellus mh xfast i tried at dicks sporting goods is pretty whippy i can tap the back bone section and that tip starts flailing around pretty rapidly of course its jus the tip section i know modfast the whole rod is whippy but the sellus mhxf tip is super whippy baha

can someone please refer me to a good article on actions and how they work, I was under the impression, because of how "whippy", the front end of the rod is with Xfast that it would have alot of "give" but thats not what im reading on this thread lol not meaning to thread jack but have I been looking at "actions" all wrong lately? lol

I have a 73 mh ghost and i love it! its actually pretty versatile

Id like to know how this rod handles if you get a chance man, Ive been wanting to get an x-fast rod for jigging and such

Yeah got that one on the first flip out to some underwater piping, watermelon red flake craw tube inhaled! lol

Only came away with 4 and I caught one on a senko that was only the size of a big bream haha The other three were 1lb and a 3lber Nice fatty

I have one and its fantastic lightest combo i have so far in 73 mh imo its maybe a tad light but its def got alotta back bone! I can toss a pad crasher jr on this thing for miles

One area has tons of slop but it has nice gaps to let a soft plastic sink into great days fishing like that but right near shore is slop city lol so it could come in handy

Nice thanks for the advice i may need to invetst in a new heavy rod haha heavuest i have is mh

Thanks what size weight would normally work good for punchin ive never really used that technique before

Thanks for the suggestions!!! Can you suggest a good topwater lure?

Sweet i got tons of those and senkos wacky rig or t rigged?

Im here in north florida and a storm front moved through wednesday and thursday. Today is all blue skies but the morning temperature has dropped to about 55-60 now so i know the water temp overall will be effected and BP and all that good stuff. Im going fishing after work today one lake is clear to about 6 feet with tons of hydrilla and unfortunately lake snot algae lol The other place i may go is a retention pond that about 10 acres in all i guess, great fishing in this thing, its brown water and only visible to about 1-2 foot probably less now with that rain stirring things up! lol Any lure suggestions for these type conditions? Post front, drop in temp, clearish green water and brown water? Ive taken 2 combos with me one for softplastics senkos and t-rigs and the other is a crankbait setup. this should cover just about anything you guys suggest!

They become super finicky spooky when on their beds, like what has already been suggested, I agree, take some sort of jig or creature bait, like a z hog jr or a baby brush hog, i like to rig them on a shakey head so it keeps them nose down like theyre trying to get into the bed or "feeding". Cast past the bed, or flip/pitch past the bed, then reel it in slowly and let it fall to the edge of the bed. Then slowly skip/shake it into the center, then just lightly shake it and let it set there. The key is to go pretty slow and be patient!

Thanks for the tips!!

i figured it might be dont but would it be as strong as before? cus i dont think i can just retip this, atleast a foot and some inches snapped off lol

ive only had it like 4 months but i bought it used from a guy on craigslist, so idk if st croix would honor the warranty still ya know

the one on the left looks 2 and a half? they are different fish, they one on the right i know was only about 2 lbs, the one of the left is def atleast 4

Today was bittersweet on the water. I was having a great day! Catching em left and right on a craw tube in junebug. ANNNDD I caught my new personal best, which i estimated to weigh 4lbs However, in my excitement to land my prize, i put too much pressure on the tip as it hung from my line and pop, there goes the rod tip. Yup, dumb mistake, I broke my favorite 7' MF St Croix LTB Teaser. This was slightly sentimental as it was my first high end rod, and was the reason Ive REALLY gotten into fishing lol On that note, I will be in the market for a new MF casting rod to use for soft plastics! haha Ill post in the Flea Market so check it out or PM for me details of what im looking for

Can someone tell me what these should sell for reasonably?

Thanks for the info! Between this reel and possibly a new patriarch or an optimus xihs how would it compare?

Yeah tackle tour praises them pretty highly so i thought id look into them

Anyone have experience with it? It seems pretty solid if you can find one

Cool thanks for the tips and the info! Ill have to do that!
