If you have the money St. Croix have unbelieveable action! I rough up my rods to much to get one. I am always going through havick after a steelhead pulls a 180 turn on me into the brush. So I normally go with something like an ugly stick just because of well more the price than anything else. I go through one a year for some reason or another.
