Knowing myself had I bought a St Croix next I'd have probably bought something along the lines of the triple cross. For the money spent I could have gotten the Luna 610 to start so I figure I just skipped the inevitable.

My first choice would have been Finesse Fishing had they been in stock. It is somewhat scary paying that kind of money for a rod I've only seen pictures of.
Congrats on the new rod, I do think you will like it. Did you mention the reel and line diameter you plan on saddling up to the new stick? I personally prefer the fine diameter of JDM braid and it’s sensitivity and low stretch, on a shallow spool JDM spinning reel of course. Further down the rabbit hole we go.
