O.K. Mitch - here's what I have.

First, a 7' St. Croix Premier "Surf Series" spinner, in ML. I used to plug the bay with this rod, caught a ton of schoolies on it. Works a pencil or Whopper Plopper like it was made for it. Matches perfectly with any reel in the 2500 to 5000 class. I used it with a first-gen Spheros 4000, perfecto! Would also make a terrific ocean fluke jigger, if spinning is your thing. Was $199 new. Mint condition, cork grips, blank a gorgeous deep grey-black. Wraps black with red trim. No rust discoloration under the wraps, I take care of my stuff, as you've seen first-hand.

Second rod: Shimano Trevala MH spinner, more powerful than the St. Croix above. slightly shorter than you asked for at 6'6", but it will sling an AVA 47 as far as you'd want to throw it. Once caught a 29lb bass on it, retrieving a snagged bunker to the boat. Boy, was that fish surprised! I used it with a gen-2 Penn Spinfisher 5500, a very potent bass killing setup. EVA grips. Was $179 new. Blank a very pretty multi-layered "internal" graphite wrap, almost iridescent in the sun. Again, minty condition - super clean.

Your choice $75 each, take 'em both, two for $130. With these two you would have your inshore spinning bases totally covered.

Best, Pete

Wow
Thanks Pete
Thats awesome and much appreciated
Im sure they are mint indeed
I’ll check the specs and make a decision on one or the other or both but definitely count down for at least one or the other

That 7' St. Croix is a gem! Would be an easy choice for me if I was in Mitch's shoes.

Thanks for the input Kevin
Do you think the ML is beefy enough to handle up to 20lbers if I’m lucky enough to get into some??

Pete-
I ask the same question if you….
Do you think the St Croix is beefy enough to handle bigger fish if I get into some?
I already have 2 6’6 Trevala MH casting rods so I’m almost leaning towards the St Croix

"Beefy" has nothing to do with landing a 20 pounder. But for this conversation, under normal situations, you would land the 20 pounder. Still my choice.

Unless you take them both................................very attractive pricing!

OK Pete
I can’t decide on one or the other so I’ll take advantage of your generous offer and take both

 

[Leprechaun]

A wise choice Mitch! I’ll send them East with Capt. Mike 2moro.

 

[Chinacat]

That would be great!

 

[OVERBORED]

Very generous offer. Well done!

Met up with Capt Mike and took possession on Sunday!! Both are absolutely beautiful
I can’t thank you enough Pete
