Legend Ultra Opinions

I have a 8' 6"" 5 wt. Love the rod. Broke the tip off once due to an unfortunate incident in regard to a storm door slaming shut on it. St. Croix replaced the rod in a timely manner. I own rods that cost two, to two and half times what I spent on the Legend Ultra and as far as I am concerned it is as good if not better than the more expensive ones that I have. I would be willing to part with most of the other rods I have, but not the Legend Ultra. That's how much I enjoy useing it.

I was the original owner and St. Croix replaced the rod. I paid a charge for shipping. Good service. Don't know what the policy is for subsequant owners. I also broke a Scott rod that had a lifetime replacement warranty for the original owner. I bought the rod from a buddy of mine. I called Scott and spoke with a lady and told her although I was not the original owner of the rod I knew who was and what could they do for me in regard to getting the rod fixed or replaced. She said sent it back, cover the shipping charge and they would repair or replace it. I sent it back and shortly thereafter received a brand new rod from them. Great service from both St.Croix and Scott.

My 7'9" 4wt legend was covered under their old unconditional warranty.
My newer 8' 4wt. Ultra Legend came with the recent limited warranty.
 
The newer Ultras are lighter, finer tipped and crisper than the original Legends.
I really like the 8ft 4wt. for small to med sized streams. I think its better suited for dries but I have landed steelhead with it and have also fished 26 midges on 7X tippet without problem. It can also casts a 5wt line well. (grabbed the wrong reel once). I fish it with a Rio Classic line. I'm usually good for 45ft and in.
