How are St Croix’s extra fast rods? Ordered a legend elite from bass pro shops….said it was a MH fast action on the bass pro site, but St Croix’s site lists the same model as extra fast…..What techniques/lures would you use a 7’1” MH extra fast action rod for? 

Looks like it's rated 1/4 to 3/4oz.  That sounds like my kind of heaven for jigs from a Bitsy Bug to 1/2oz.  

I have this rod and it's kind of stout compared to other MH rods but a nice rod nonetheless. I use it for jigs and Texas Rigged soft plastic.

I don’t use St Croix rods, but use MH/XF action rods for all bottom contact plastic presentations in light to moderate cover, which gives me the best overall sensitivity in my hands.

Of all Croix actions I prefer the XF. It’s got the tip and then the power for my style of fishing. I own the MHXF in the Xtreme line and it’s a dream to use.
