Hey guys,
Was wondering which will survive longer throwing giant baits: the St. Croix SCII XXXH or the Seeker 8 foot 40-100 lb jig rod? I don't have the Seeker in hand so I can't compare the blanks so if anyone has some hands-on experience with these I would be very grateful. This would be for chucking giant home-made poppers. Thanks all!!!! Re: St. Croix or Seeker

How heavy? The XXXH St. Croix is a baseball bat that guys use for jigging 200-400' with 16oz+ jigs for Cod fish, as well as Tuna jigging. IT's not a rod for everyone, as it is really, really stiff. Not sure what oyu are lookign to do, fish you are chasing, weights you are looking to toss. Re: St. Croix or Seeker

Billy,
I would be tossing home-made lures well over a pound in weight. Home-made poppers that I would be tossing for distance for GTs in Malaysia and muskies here in Wisconsin. The question is whether the Seeker would last longer than the Croix in tossing heavy baits and which one will throw a heaver bait a longer distance with less effort. I like the whip effect on most Seeker blanks but I do not have the one in question to play with in making my decision. Thanks a lot in advance! Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
