| Anyone use a 10 ft Legend yet? St Croix advertises the heavy for double blades and the Extra Heavy for large rubbers. I primarily want it for double 10s and plan on the Heavy, but want to make sure the Heavy has enough back bone with the 10 ft length.
Thanks for any feedback on the 10 footers! |

Location: Apparently where the Muskie aren't | I haven't used a 10 footer but I have a 9foot premier heavy and I wish I went with the Xheavy for double 10s and larger. It's great for baby and jr. Cowgirls but I feel underpowered with the double 10s. |

Location: MN | Just my preference, but I like the extra whip that I get out of longer H power rods, as compared to an XH. However, when I really need to crank the figure 8 with 10's, the extra backbone of an XH is what I need. Smaller bucktails--> Heavy power. Big 10s, 12s and 13s, --> XH |

Location: Land of the Musky | I have not specifically used a 10 ft Legend but I have used rods up to 10'6" and you will love this length or a rod for blades and swimbaits for sure!

| I have a blade master 10' St Croix.
Awesome for blades, I casted bull dogs as well .
Figure 8s are giant.
Casts farther than a 9 foot rod all day.
Handles 10s awesome.
I got a few 40 inch on it.
St. Croix finally put a long handle on.
Didn't have to extend the handle like the Big Nastys. |

Location: Eastern Ontario | double the length of the rod I started with ( proves I'm getting old ) where will it end. What's the length of a rod locker on a 35 foot boat. |

| I prefer the 12 footers. They work great when I'm throwing my 6 pounders and double 18's. They fit in the rod locker on my 30 foot deep V with the 500 hp outboard. There is even room for my super double magnum XXXL Kahuna net in the boat as well.
I have to agree with you horsehunter. When does it end? I'm not complaining, it's not as if I use 5 foot rods with Mepps Musky Killers, a bass net and a 12' aluminum fishing boat with a 9.9 hp motor, but everything just keeps getting bigger and bigger. It will be interesting to see where things continue to go. |

| I don't plan on ever trying a 10 footer because at that point I can't even bring it in the house. It's already hard enough to avoid smacking the 9' into every doorframe and finding a place to put it sometimes. |

| I can fit 9 footers in the cab of my truck. I can't fit one-piece 10's. 9's are where it ends for me.
From here I really think rods are just going to get lighter, more powerful, and more sensitive. You see it with the bass and walleye scenes. |
