Location: IN | Yes, they did. But I believe they stopped making that particular rod last year. There should still be plenty of them floating around the tackle shops though. |

| I'm currently building a rod for Mainly Muskie guide service that uses that St.Criox extra heavy blank. St. Criox messed up and sent me 2 of the blanks that specifics are below.
2M69XHF 6'9" 1 36-80 lb. 3-8 oz. XH FAST Musky-Hvy. Jerkbait/SW . 655 10.5 4.7 oz
Let me know if you want me to build it out for you. It is a great Bull Dawg rod or heavy bait rod.

Location: Norway | I currently use the PM69XHF rod, and Im quite satisfied with it, I used to have the PM6HF. I use it only for jerkbaits and heavy gliders (and bulldawgs, but I dont fish those much).
The new series also have new handles (slimmer, a little better to palm a fullsize reel and the front handle is halfwells now, fullwells in last year models) There are 2 downsides with it 1. The hookhanger is to small, opposed to the old ones that I felt were to big. 2 and the finnish is glossier, I liked better the semi matt/semi gloss old look.
I dont have any esperience with last years 69H rod, so I cant compare them.

| That is true about the blank. It is now a painted blank Black with a light pearl flake to give is a little shine, but I like it. |
