... Hi, Anybody get to check out the new 2008 St Croix rods yet? What exactly if anything is "new" about them. I had heard about re-desinged handles did this happen? Thanks Ray No, but I'll ask Dave since he is sponsored by them. I'ld realy like to see a flipping stick with a skeleton handle myself. Tica made one like that, but its been impossible for me to find somebody who stocks them, and the exact model I had before has been discontinued. -- Bob La Londe http://www.YumaBassMan.com -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Thanks Ray It looks like they went with a split cork butt section on the Legend Tournament rods, and one person told me they went to a skeleton handle (reel seat), but i have not been able to confirm that. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Weight saving is questionable. Weigh a cork handle and then weigh the pieces they use for a split grip, I'm sure you'll find out it's not that much. When I started using split grips on the rods I built, it was because of the way I noticed many of my clients casting. Most of them used a baseball bat type grip, with their hands close together. I'd explain that if they moved their hands apart, and used kind of a "Push Pull" motion, they'd get better distance with less effort. They'd do that and be amazed at the distance they were getting on a cast, but shortly thereafter, would have their hands together and making shorter casts. So years ago, I built a prototype rod with a split grip and found that if you kept both hands together on the rod, it felt strange and your hand automatically went down the handle to the butt end grip. Trying it out on clients, they were placing their hands where they were supposed to, getting longer casts and it didn't interfere with working the lure or fighting a fish. It also looks distinctive and eye catching, so it's both cool looking and functional. -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com |
