Med fast paired with a shimano Stella 3000. Caught a 36in and a 38in striped bass on the set up. No problem at all. Loved it. If your looking for a light durable set up this is it. Plus it can handle more then that.

St Croix XIS70MHF Legend Xtreme Inshore Spinning Rod
May 19, 2018
Great sensitive rod with plenty of backbone.
Comes with a protective rod sock.
The handle takes a little getting use to. Great hook keeper that doesn’t dig into your hand.
I have this paired up with a Sustain 4000 the model with the kickstand and it pairs well with it.
If price is a issue I would consider the new Avid (teal) instead which is also a great rod that has the same hook keeper now. The previous gen Avid (brown) hook keeper would die into your fingers where it was placed and designed.
Pros
  • Sensitivity
  • Weight
Cons
  • Price
  • Handle design

Excellent for Inshore Light Tackle Setup
August 13, 2017
Excellent Rod - extremely well built. I have the MF and MLF and either is excellent paired with a 3000 series for light inshore trout and redfishing. 15 year warranty is proof that St. Croix believes in their products and stands behind them.
Pros
  • 15 Year Transferable Warranty.
  • Rod Sock Included
Cons
  • Price, but you get what you pay for.

I really like Rod the craftsmanship is excellent it has a very fast tip with plenty of backbone since purchasing it I've only had the opportunity to fluke fish up to 70' water no problem feeling the bite and a pleasure fishing it all day going to purchase the spinning version but they are back ordered at the moment

Stain with ease

The rods stained on the handles with the first use. St Croix states that is not a manufacturing defect and want to charge me$80 per rod to replace. They are right it is a design defect! $400 rod -pretty pathetic

Amazing rod
August 30, 2016
I have had this rod for two yrs now and have caught many fish. My biggest is a 7 lb catfish. It's precise, very sensitive and casts amazing. It's so sensitive that I can feel the objects while the sinker is moving on the bottom and can normally tell if it's a hard or soft bottom etc given the right circumstances (wind, current etc). Solid and have shown no wear what so ever and looks new apart from some dirt that I need to clean :) The handle is amazing to and the material is great to the touch and easy to clean. I have the medium spinning with 30 lb braid but looking to change to 15 lb instead. Using with a shimano sustain 3000. Amazing combo, very light and very balanced! Can fish all day. I use it with many rigs, paternoster rig, carolina rigs, drop shots, all kinds stuff. I've even casted a paternoster rig with a 3 oz sinker and no problems!
Pros
  • St. Croix
  • Solid and will last a very long time
  • Precise casting
  • Extremely sensitive
  • Easy to clean
  • Light
  • Balanced
  • Amazing guides
Cons
  • None

Best Inshore Rod!!!!!!
October 19, 2015
Have 2 of these so far paired them with the new Stradic 3000FK's with 15 pound power pro braid throwing the hybrid Live target Shrimp 3/8oz lure for Snook,Reds, & Trout. Cast the shrimp a mile and couldn't ask for much more out of this rod. I have yet to have a problem with the white turning yellow and I fish just about everyday. My only complaint is I wish they would make a 7'6" or even an 8'. I plan on adding a MLF and MHF to the arsenal of legend xtremes I have.
Pros
  • Casts a mile, lightweight
Cons
  • No 7'6" or 8' Lengths

Combined with a Quantum Smoke inshore this is my go to combo for casting inshore artificial baits for drum and speckled trout. The grip is comfortable for all day sight casting and has plenty of power to get the lure out to the grass line.

I have been an ugly stik man since childhood. I finally decided to see what all the hype was about with premium rods. The first time I held it, I knew I was in a different ballgame. In terms of sensitivity and weight, I had never felt anything like it before. I am a believer! Great product! I will buy another.
Pros
  • Lightweight, sensitive, great backbone, pretty stylish
Cons
  • Price, but you get what you pay for for sure!

Good day,


I search a softer rod of the st croix avid inshore VIC70MHF and a stronger rod of the st croix triumph TRS70MF is the st croix legend extreme XIS70MF a good option?

1 Answer
The XIS70MF would be a good middle ground between those two other rods.

Just purchased this rod from tackle direct (7' MHF) spinning and was wondering what would be a computable reel for it. I really like the new Penn conflict 2. Would this be a good match or is there something better? Thanks.
1 Answer
A smaller conflict two would pair up nice with the St.Croix legend extreme. I would take a look at the Shimano Nasci to pair with this rod. https://www.tackledirect.com/shimano-nasc3000hgfb-nasci-spinning-reel.html

What year is this model? And whats the difference between the XIS model and XSS model? Why the price difference? 
1 Answer
Gigi,

The original St.Croix Legend Extreme Inshore rods came out in iCast 2013.  The new 2021 version has upgraded features including super high modulus SCv carbon and  Daiwa carbon fiber guides with SiC ring inserts.  These plus some other upgrades make it one of the most sensitive rods on the market.  Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.

Keith Sullivan
from San Diego asked:
August 5, 2015
Do you know if this rod would get sun bleached and faded after awhile? I like the color, and this rod but I have a few cheap old white poles that turn yellowish and look bad after a few years, I wouldn't want to pay $400 if that would happen with this rod.
1 Answer
Hello Keith. St. Croix has a very good reputation of their rods being able to stand up to whatever you or nature can throw at them. We have never heard of any fading issues with these rods and can not see this being an issue.

Do you have a 6'' model as 7'' is to long for our style of fishing in the top end of Australia?
1 Answer
The Legend Xtreme Inshore rods are not offered in a model less than 7'. However, St. Croix does make the Xtreme in a shorter freshwater version. It is available in lengths from 5'9" to 6'10". Take a look at them under Freshwater rods > St. Croix > Xtreme.

What Shimano spinning reel would you match with the 7 ft. spinning rod for specks - Carson
1 Answer
Hello Carson. Shimano offers many options that would go GREAT with this rod. Each one is different however in it's own way and would really depend on what you would be fishing for and the tackle you would be using. Feel free to give one of our product specialists a call and they will be more than happy to get you set up with the perfect combination!
