I know of a person who is selling a St. Croix tournament rod. He is asking $75 OBO He says the only problems is the cork is a little chipped on the corner, and one of the eye inserts is missing. Don't know yet if this is spinning or casting or what action. How much should I offer?
Well find out the details on the rod and offer him $50.
You can fix the cork and guide for minimal $.
Yes, a $50 St. Croix is worth it!
I paid $200 for mine! :(
If you have a local rod builder, he can replace the guide for about $10...or possibly less. The cork can be repaired with some oak colored, wood putty, then sanded flush to the existing cork. $50 would be a GREAT deal but I believe that even $75 would be a good deal on this rod.
Good luck.......George
St. Criox Legends and Avids are great rods and I have paid any where from $149 on sale to over $260 for an 8' Flipping stick I just had to have. Always try for a lower price, but the $75 is reasonable.
i agree with everyone else....both 50 and 75 sound like pretty good deals to me....which reminds me that i still need to get a guider replaced on one of my legend tourney's
Thanks guys. Bought it for $60 straight up! Took it straight in for the minor repair. Can't wait to use it.
Congrats on the rod and the great deal. I'm sure you'll get some good use out of it. ~gf
