Thanks for the opinions.

Here's something interesting I just learned - not sure I should mention
this in public, don't want to start a mad rush, but - Winston has a
"loaner" program, whereby you can talk to your local Winston dealer and
have them order you a loaner rod, which you're then free to fish a
couple weeks to try out. The only cost to you might be what the dealer
charges to send it back to Winston.

Impressive...

I thought so as well. Winston loaned my local tackle shop a 9' 4wt 4pc B2X for
me to try out. After a couple of hours of casting on the pond and testing
different lines on it, I bought the rod. Sweet.

I know, I know, this is a stupid comparison, and a stupid post. The
Boron is twice as expensive. Their actions - while both med-fast - are
entirely different, and of course every fisherman will have his own
personal preference in any case. Finally, I'll be surprised if even a
few of you have actually had a chance to even lawn cast both, much less
fish them both. But for all that:

Anyone have any opinions on the 9' 5-wt Winston Boron IIx versus the
same-sized St. Croix Legend Ultra?

I have my own initial opinion. I'd just like to hear what anyone else
has to say. (Other than: "Idiot!")

Thanks, Tim


I didn't care for the BII... 5wt. The action was boring. I'm a big
T&T fan. If you're looking for a reasonably priced rod, check out the
T&T LPS series rods. In my opinion, they cannot be beat for the
money.
