    6xd rod

    I have a legend tournament xtreme (last gen) 7'8" mod mh that I love but they no longer make the rod. I love that it's got plenty of backbone but a very soft tip and is not glass. Any recommendations as I've tried many rods and looking for a couple more. Thank you
    Where are the BIG ones? When are we going?

    The Victory and Legend Tournament Bass 710HM and 710XHM rods are equally as good and better for your application; personally I'd go with the XHM that will do 6-10XDs really well.

    Any place with a great deal on them currently? Thank you I like a soft tip on the upper 20" or so...would you go XHM or HM due to rarely go over 1 1/2oz baits.

    ALX Rods ZOLO Grind is a great choice and kind of a sleeper in our line up. Lots of feel.

    If you’re strictly cranking 6Xds the 7’10 HM is all you need. In either the victory or Legend Tournament. If you want to throw 8 and 10 XDs get the XHM. Power Tackle makes a excellent deep crank rod as well, there cranking rods a very versatile.
