I’m currently deciding between getting the st croix legend glass 7”4, or the expride b glass 7”2. The st croix rod is easier to get and a little less expensive, but the expride seems better balanced. This would be a dedicated all crankbait setup, and I know most people use that expride model for chatterbaits, so I’m not sure how it would compare to the st croix with crankbaits 

I owned the 7’ spinning model.. they are d**n fine rods but unfortunately I just couldn’t warm up to using it w spinning.. 

 

If it were casting, oh yea it would have been sweet. I use an Evergreen/Daiwa Glass/Carbon rod for all that work now.. plus an IMX 847 

Not a fan of my 72 mhg expride for crank baits...just feels too spongey for cranking... Love it for bladed jig duty only.... I was looking the at Croix glass rods b4... But they sure are thick.. Didn't like the broomstick feel of them.... I prefer dobyns cb rods or megabass p5 javelin for my cranking setups... 

I am also trying to decide on weather to get a graphite or glass rod. I’m looking for an all around rod, something that will hopefully cover all of the vast majority of my crankbaits

the imx pro crankbait rods are supposed to be the bomb.

I have the Legend Glass 7'2'' M and really like it. It is a little heavier than your normal graphite rod but loads well and cast a mile. The best thing about it is that keeps fish pinned.  I have thrown crankbaits from 3/8oz up to 3/4. I have it paired with an old 2012 Anteras. It will bomb a 1/2oz square bill. 

 

 

 

I’m a fan of the St. Croix LTB hybrid glass rods. I have the 7’2” HM “Rip N Chatter” and love it. They have some other crankbait models too. Doesn’t feel any heavier than my regular graphite LTBs. I can’t stand the weight of true glass rods and I love the action of the hybrid glass ones

I haven't tried an Expired glass, but I had a couple Legend Glass. Wanted to give them a chance and try to like them, but I just couldn't. I traded one off towards something else and the other, a 6'10" Medium is sitting on the consignment rack at a local shop right now 

 

Just not a fan!
