St Croix VICTORY

I would probably order one on 3/19 if I new what it weighed, but don't think I will without that info. Where did you find that?

[fishyscent]

Will those be the only casting options offered ?

Cody Hahner posted it on his instagram this morning. My screenshot didn't turn out very well but it's still on his page if you want to see it. I wish they had the weights listed. Nice to see the prices of the rods available on 3/19. I also thought it was interesting the one has a different handle.

On March 19, there will be more later.

I wonder if that is a big swimbait rod handle?

I'll be glad to get some weight info on them as soon as we have the green light...

Thanks, Gary. Are you able to share your initial thoughts on them?

I'm curious on the 7'3 Heavy Extra Fast.. maybe a better, less "handful" of a frog rod than the 7'4 Heavy? That's my hopes at least.

Full Contact Finesse / VTC73XHF - 7'3" Extra-Heavy Power, Fast Action Casting - $200

How is a 7'3" Extra Heavy considered a finesse rod??? Am I missing something here???

[PSchueller]

I was wondering the same thing. There is another rod called the full contact, so I guess it is finesse compared to that rod.

[ss30378]

It’s HXF not XHF by what I’m reading so heavy backbone with softer XF tip.

No, just St. Croix being terrible at communicating information about their products. It's what they are best at!

According to that chart one rod's technique is "the marshal". That makes total sense... we all know what a Marshall rod does.

Nowhere did it say there was an XH rod. It's HXF, Heavy Extra-Fast.
The full grip rod is not one of the rods in the initial release.
There will eventually by 25 technique specific bass rods in the family.

I guess there was a typo here then. This is where I saw that.

The Victory rods are super light. Lighter than their Elites and Legend x.

[Barneybass]

The weights are listed here! The SC6 will help with the sensitivity as well. Going to be a great rod for that price.

Nice, thanks for sharing.

[dylanl]

Thanks for the link with the weights. I'm impressed with those compared to other St. Croix series. Does anyone know if the 7'2" MH, M PWR Target Cranker is glass? I hope not. I haven't seen anything saying it is.

[PSchueller]

I doubt a glass rod could be that light. Looks like an upgraded version of the bass x crankbait rod.

[Barneybass]

You’re welcome. No definitely not glass with that weight! 3.4oz has to be SCIII+. These rods are as light as NRX or Zbone. Pretty impressive especially considering the price.
