In couple of my previous videos You can see me loosing a lot of fish with my rod ST. Croix Trout Series 2022 model TFS64LF2 1.7-7g. I been using this rod for all last season and always felt as it is too stiff and not absorbing shakes too well. This season it got even worse, lost most of trout. Having two sessions wherer I was loosing most of my fish, I decided to try and properly test my Brother in law rod ST.Croix Trout Series 2022 TFS60ULF2 1-5g.
Today I had many takes and had a chance to fight many fish. And easily I can say that this rod is holding trout way much better than my rod but problem is that it doesn't have enough backbone. If I catch something bigger in faster water - very hard to bring fish in, very hard to turn it around.
I'm not saying I'm right but that is my opinion and I'm looking for a New Rod.
