Always a great feeling seeing the tube leaned up next to the front door. Took it inside and popped it open to get to my 6’8” MXF and a 7’2” HM St. Croix Legend Tournament rods.

The 6’8” MXF is weightless in hand and balances perfectly. I love how short the handle is and being 5’9” the length should be perfect. It’s gonna be my go to jerkbait rod now instead of my Tatula 7’0” MLR which will be moved to strictly small cranks and jerks. 
As for the 7’2” HM, I’ve expressed on this site a lot how much I dislike glass rods, and how I throw chatterbaits on mod-fast graphite rods instead of a true moderate. Well, the second I picked up the LTB composite rods in store, my opinion changed. The LTB rods are lightweight and feel great in hand. I’m gonna throw chatterbaits, spinnerbaits and buzzbaits on it. Im up to 5 LTB rods now as they have become my favorite rod line.

Cant wait to get these bad boys out on the water!

I got that 6’8 MXF LTB jerkbait rod last year and it’s fantastic.  I have the 7’2 HM in the victory line and it’s great!  I’d imagine the LTB version is fantastic

 

enjoy

Nice haul! @PBBrandon
 

 

 

I also have the 6’8” MXF LTB for jerkbaits and love it. All my casting rods are St Croix’s and I’m quite happy with them so far. 

Did you offer the Bait Monkey a room of his own?
