Benji, I'd luv a Century Demon, BUT I'm not paying $680. If they knock 3-400 off, I'll be first in line. Us poor folk on a fixed income gotta be careful. THX.
So worth it though, I've never used anything else like one. I have a 7'6" demon that I've used to jig tautog and sheepshead with, while not recommended, that's the type power those rods have. Slings Paul Brown's and mirolures a friggin mile too for trout
Out of the two you're between though, I'd go with blackhole. It's been a long time since stcroix impressed me much. I have buddies that love them because their warranty, but stcroix blanks don't do much for me, imo.
