| If I could only fish with 1 rod for the rest of my life, it would be a 7'6" MH St Croix Avid. I can throw damn near anything with that rod.

Location: God's Country......USA..... Western Wisconsin | I have a pair of 7 foot Sage rods built on the 569 blank. This is quite possibly the best Muskie blank of all time. (IMHO) I also have a 7 1/2 foot Diamondback Bucktail rod that is great but I think that I prefer the Sage rods. These things almost cast themselves. I also prefer the 7 foot length as it just seems to be easier for me to handle. I fish out of a low profile "Bass" boat so I am closer to the water. The 8 footers are just to long for me to fish with easily. Reels are Calcutta 251s for the Sages and a 401 TE on the Diamondback. Sweeeeeeet |

Location: Bagley,MN 56621 | 7'2" and 7'6" St.Croix Premier.....to choose only one would be the 7'6". Getting good enough at glide baits now that that rod will work, use it for everything else: cranks/hair/topwater. |

| It is a tie between my 7'2" thorne bros diamond back and the old blue gloomis gl2 7 ft mur844c. Thanks ToddM never thought I would find another
However soon it will be a new 8 ft thorne bros diamond back heavy. Thanks Jonesi for forcing me to buy another rod. I can't wait to throw my own.

Location: Greenfield, WI | My favorite rod is a 7'2" Thorne Brothers Diamondback MH rod works for everything from a 5" Slammercrank Bait to the heaviest of jerkbaits, with equal ease. |

Location: Racine, Wi | I would have to say my 7'2" St Croix Premier. I will be picking up the 7"6" this year and maybe an 8'er. Little Tuffy has a 7'6" to 8' St Croix, that bombs the top raider out. Have to pick that up.
Good lungen,

| I find myself picking up the 8' MH Fig Rig for more and more presentations. I have thrown everything from the 10" Beleiver to a Lit'l Ernie with it. Even threw a couple gliders with it. I think if I had another 8'MH and 2 Med actions I would get rid of my other rods. |

Location: Wauwatosa, WI | I seem to always go back to my st. croix 7' MH with an abu ultra cast and 80' power pro. don't know why I'm more comfortable with this combo than any of my other st. croix rods. it just catches fish...
