Half of my two rig attack is complete. I have finally found and purchased my St. Croix Legend Elite ES70MF along with the Shimano Stella 2500FB it will be paired with after much Ebay warfare. I think I did pretty well on it. All told for both rod and reel I spent a total of $634.00. It was $435.00 for the reel, which isn't a huge savings from normal price, but it was the best deal I could find, and $199.00 for the rod, which was pretty darn good considering it retails for $320.00. Both are brand new in original packaging. I can't wait for these to hit my doorstep so I can go test 'em out. Hopefully everything arrives in good shape. I can't wait to use these monsters!!! :)

Even after all that, I still have $100.00 of my Christmas money left and the little critter is still tring to talk me into boosting my crankbait supply... :. Tenacious little sucker. Oh well. I'll probably just save the rest and put it towards the next combo.

VERY VERY NICE.............enjoy!!!!!

Nice outfit! Those ebay wars can really be stressful but what a great feeling when you manage to get a deal.

Very nice indeed!  I'm considering one of the smaller Stella's as well, I have the larger ones that I use for surf fishing.  

I agree with the wars on Ebay.  I am sure that I've bid against a couple guys from this site as well.   ;D

Nice setup dude.  8-)

Dude!

That's my soft plastics rig! I hope you like it as much as I do.

Congratulations.

I reckon I will enjoy it quite a bit. I have been watching the tracking updates like an addict waiting for his fix. Both items have been shipped and are on their way. I hope to get them both before this weekend so I can go test them out. The weather has been pretty mild around here recently and I think I would like to get out and do some wacky rigged senkos.
