c/22,

I started a thread a couple of months ago on St. Croix, and with all the positive feedback, I said what the hell and bought one. Great rods IMHO!

I purchased a 9' 8-17 lbs, 3/8 - 1 1/4 oz, Med-Heavy. Great rod for the price, no question. I've been a Loomis whore my whole life, so it's hard to compare it to an IMX. If Loomis built a 9' 1025 GL3 it would compare nicely, especially in price, considering the GL3 would be around $285+ while the St. Croix was only $180.

See ya,

James
