i dont have that exact rod you speak of .... i do have the legened tourney bass 7ft hevy frog rod .... love it .... for flippin ,,, c-rig ,,, small swimbaits and pitching big jigs i have a 7ft6 premiere 1 peice .... strong rod .... and  for the price you cant beat it ..... its a heavy fast rod ...

I've got the Legend Tournament Bass "Big Cranker" and "Topwater rods and think they're great! The Big Cranker is a 7' rod and I use it when I'm fishing using the big crankbaits like the Lucky Craft Flat CB20's. I don't think you'll be disappointed with St. Croix rods. I've had problems with only 2 rods over the last 15 years and St. Croix replaced both rods at no charge.

I have the Avid AC73MHF and love it. I use it for all the reasons you mentioned plus frogs. Match it up with a quality reel spooled with your favorite 20lb co-poly or braid and hit the H2O!!!

I have the TBC66MHF and it is one sweet stick.  I cannot see much difference in 9 inches.  I use the 6'6" for mainly pitching plastics and jigs.  I use a Premier 7' MHF for my Rigs.  Both are nice.

Anyone own this rod??????Anyone????????

I have the exact rod that you are talking about.  I started off the season using it for my tournament c-rig rod, but half way through the season I was missing a lot of fish on my frog rod so I decided to try  the TBC73MHF for it and it improved my hooking percentages 10 times.  I absolutely love this rod.  It has enough of a back bone and length to it that it can pull fish out of slop quickly, but it has the perfect action and speed that I don't pull the frog out the hookset.  As far as c-rig rods go, if you are using it for that purpose you will be more than happy with it.  That same action that makes it work for me with frogs makes it perfect for slower hooksets with c-rigs.  I don't think I would pick it out for my main pitching and flipping rod though.  If you are in the bottom of stalks and hydrilla, the slower tip might cause you some problem.  

For pitching I really like the TBC76MHMF.  I use it mainly for pitching 1/4oz weighted Sweet Beavers or 1/4 or 3/8 oz jigs.  It is a lighter rods, but has enough of strength to get the fish in the boat.

For flipping, I use the TBC80HMF in the real heavy stuff.  I have pulled out huge clumps of cat tails with this thing that fish got caught in.  It is a heavy rod, but has all the strength you will need.  I like the 8' length too to get nice hooksets in the really heavy stuff.  

thanks bushwacker....anyone else want to chime in????
