    FNF Rod Comparison

    Alright, I am jumping onto the bandwagon. I bought a rod last night so I guess it doesn't matter a whole lot, but if the overwhelming opinion is that I bought the wrong rod I may contact them before they ship.

    These are two St. Croix rods, which one would you select. I want to do some FNF and also use it at KY Lake for some outstanding crappie fishing.

    Rod 1 - 9'6"; PWR = L; Action = Mod; Line Wt = 4-8; Lure Wt = 1/16-3/8; Rod Wt = 5.4oz

    Rod 2 - 9'6"; PWR = ML; Action = Fast; Line Wt = 6-10; Lure Wt = 1/8-5/8; Rod Wt = 5.7oz

    Thanks for your opinions. I value them greatly as you guys know lots about this fishing stuff!

    Edit - Also, I realize Bass Pro has a perfectly good rod for far less. I just love the feel and performance of St. Croix rods.

    They both sound like good rods to me. Much nicer than mine which have served me fairly well.

    Both should work, I would go for # 1 if I had to choose.

    Re: FNF Rod Comparison

    Thanks guys for your input. I had bought Rod #1. I believe I will stay with it. My uncle has rod #2 so I will be able to see both in action and possibly regret my decision. Oh well...
