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 like the BIIx action a lot. I've test cast a few of the lighter
weights, and own a BIIx 3wt. I haven't cast a St Croix Ultra in 3-4
years, so I can't say how it compares. I wasn't driven into 'must have"
mode like I was with the Winston.
