St. Croix is a good product. You could do a lot worse. They're American made blanks, are reasonably priced, they come with a warranty and the company has good customer service.
The set-up you're considering sounds OK to me.
Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
Buy it from a shop like M&D - you will get the straight scoop on the gear you are buying. Bass pro didn't impress me as far as having someone in the know talking to people. Mostly mfg. reps there. Also you will have a better chance of having help with your gear when you buy from someone who services what they sell.
