Location: Beaver County, Pennsylvania | Why have they opted to build this one rod out of fiberglass? I think everything else they make is graphite.

| They have several E glass rods, Not just one.
Crankbaits, Suckers, biggest of big baits... All of those work really well with glass rods. |

| Its 1/2 glass and 1/2 graphite which is heavy power with moderate action.Although it can be used for many applications it was designed as a trolling rod,the moderate action does not load up so fast and bends through out its lenght which helps big cranks run better and helps prevent hooks from tearing out of a fish as easily during the initial moments just after the strike when your putting double preasure on a fish due to the forward momentum of the boat.This is a great trolling blank but works equally well for other applictions as well,i often throw cranks on mine.Funny thing is it was originally designed as a cat rod but the us musky folks got ahold of it and st.croix decied to change the colour and add it to there musky line up.I think you can still purchase the rod in there big cat lineup as well. |

| It's an excellent trolling rod, I can pull anything with it, fromspinnerbaits to Parrywinkles and 14" Franky Baits. The cork gets a bit "chewed up" by the Salty's but that's not a huge deal. |
