Could this be the new St croix rod? > Legend X casting

[WhatsUnderTheWater]

Just recently found a rod name and picture on tackledirect which I never saw before nor ever heard of in the casting and spinning category. The St croix Legend X
could this reel be the new flagship of 2017?

ps; icant seeem to be able to put the pic here cuz its too big. any idea how to make it smaller?

Yeah trying to post pics here is a pain, wish they would do auto(or optional selectable auto) resize.

Anywho, is this them?

Briefly reading description, seems these are essentially split grip versions of the legend elite with different graphics/color. Looks like same blanks, guides & reel seat, similar prices.

Good find.

Love that color "relentless Olive" and a 15 year transferable warranty is a very nice feature.

This looks to be the new version of the Legend Xtreme?
Like the guides, aesthetics are pretty subtle (Although the Legend Xtreme was always touted to be daring in design?) - but it looks like it's a great rod.

Not sure which I would prefer, the Elite or the Legend X now.

I hate that there will be exposed threads once reel is tightened down.

Honestly not a fan of the color, i prefer the white colored design in the Legend Xtreme Inshore. Then again, I think these rods are most likely to replace the Legend Elite since the technology are more or less identical.

Not a replacement for the legend elite, more of a split grip alternative. The legend elite hasn't even been out a year.
It may be a legend extreme replacement though.
