Blanks are the very same.

The Legend Elite and Legend Xtreme blanks are identical except for paint.

If you look at the blank catalog...they list the factory rod models built from each blank.

For a dedicated bobber rod...really like a Steelhead rod.

If you want a rod to pull double duty, use a rigging rod. Or, a rod for trolling cranks. Longer, softer rod is...

I've built on the Croix and the GLX version of the 721.

I tend to use the 9000 more for working light jigs at...
