crappie rod?

Can't pass up a response too this question.
 
I've been using a 6.5' ultra-lite by St. Croix for nearly twenty-two years.  If it ever gets replaced; it will be with a 6.5' ultra-lite by St. Croix.  As far as I'm concerned, a St Croix puts true meaning to "90% of the fish are caught by 10% of the fisherman".
 
No I don't work for St. Croix but, I got 10 of em.

Remember the first time I picked up a Croix (was at a mom and pop store) and it was like nothing was there.  After fishing with glass (ugly sticks) I wondered how this fishing rod, so light yet so balanced, could handle fish.  I think the rod was priced at forty dollars and considered to be pretty pricey for me, back then.  Salesman pointed out the rod being guaranteed for life and he would buy it back if I weren't satisfied.  Tested the guarantee several times (unlike ugly sticks you can't shut a Croix in the car door) and was never disappointed with getting the rod(s) repaired or replaced, although they started charging me shipping.(lol)  Never had to take the saleman up on his buy back offer either.  Been buying Croix ever since; heck even gives me ideas for Christmas presents for the better half.  Don't think she has caught on (yet) as she seems happy when she opens her gifts.
 
Not likely I'll ever be 'Angler of the Year' or, enter any record books but, I've sure had plenty of good eating over the years.  God willing, the future too!
