I was at a Gander MT store and a Croix Legend Elite 6' MF was on sale. Retail was $289.00 marked down to $249.00 then red taged at $199.00. I think this rod has ben around awhile. The color is green not brown like the new ones. Ant info would be appriciated.

I've picked up a few Legend Elites in the same manner. Finding the older models discounted at Gander Mtn., these are great rods for the money. If you like it, you probably will not find it any cheaper. I have the 6' MF in both casting and spinning, the spinning version is my favorite Senko rod, and the casting model makes for a great T-rig and Spinnerbait rod. My .02 cents.

St. Croix changed the Legend Elite in 2005. The new models have an additional wrap and are brown. I have the green model, it is my main soft plastics rod. I like it VERY much. I too found them on sale during the model change at www.Reedssports.com. They may still have a few left in certain sizes.

I got it on sale also 1.5-2 years ago, it is my favorite jerkbait rod. Love the handle.
