Not to further complicate things but the Daiwa Tatula(the cork handle one) might be worth considering as well in this price range.

Got my PB last year on a "Storm WildEye Live Walleye", a lure I had decided was awful and I don't recall what made me tie it on that morning.

Do you have the spool tension knob too loose?

I did see that video actually. Definitely sounds like he likes the rod

Which rod did you have?

It does almost feel like a ML to me, at least compared to my other medium rods

I did. Feels very nice. Has a super soft-tip but definitely not a noodle. Should fit nicely into my lineup. Can't wait to get it out.

I think I will end up going with the 7'3" MXF then

This was how I was leaning

I was wondering about that too, I can't say I've been unhappy with the tatula so far though

This overlaps quite a bit with my Tatula no?

What length was that?

Hello everyone! I am thinking about picking up a St. Croix Victory spinning rod and I am looking for any suggestions/advice on which model would be the best to go with. Most of my fishing right now is wading rivers and creeks for Smallmouth, Walleye and the occasional Pike. I like to carry two rods generally and would like to see what everyone would think the best option in the Victory line to fit into my current rod arsenal. Below is my current rod rotation. Daiwa Tatula 7'MF(2 Piece)- Tatula LT 2500(my main do most things rod, rated from 1/8-3/4 but doesn't really feel suited at that lower end, happy with it otherwise) St Croix Mojo Bass 7'1"MHF(2 Piece)- Carbon X 3000(Use this rod for heavier baits or in weedy ponds, like to throw a 110 Whopper Plopper and this does that well enough, will get a baitcaster some day but not yet) Daiwa Presso 7'UL(2 Piece)- Exceler LT 2500(this is new and a has been a blast to use, caught my PB Walleye on it while trying it out for the first time) I've been leaning toward the 7'3" MXF or MLXF in the Victory lineup but am looking for any feedback anyone may have. I probably don't need a new rod but they look nice and the 15 year warranty is a big appeal to me(bait monkey has sharp claws too).

Considering maybe going with the ML option as well. I think I would prefer the longer rods for casting distance. Right now I have a Medium Fast 7ft Tatula Spinning rod that is my main "do most things" rod. Any suggestions or experience with the victory spinning rods would be appreciated.

Think I am going to bite the bullet and go with a 7'3" Medium Extra Fast, anyone have this rod? How does it balance with the reel you have on? Thinking about pairing with a 2500 Tatula LT or Ultegra
