St. Croix RodsPremier Casting Rod

Initial quality feels great, price a little high but you get what you pay fo right, well not really. Purchased this in April, used maybe three time and a rod guide fell out (tip) see pics there is no damage just no guide. Anyway with this premium rod and price you get to glue a new tip on! Yep that’s right you can glue a new tip on. Maybe I am being privileged but, I will never be happy with this rod with a glued on tip! So I can mail it in approximately $30 at my own cost, wait months and they will fix it, not much of a choice. Well I hate to give the low rating as I have waited a long time to be able to afford ST.Croix rods. If anything changes or this is made right I will come back here and provide an update!!! Fish-ON!!!

About the 11th or 12th St.Croix rod I have bought to date. This volume is because they are simply good, long lasting graphite rods. I have several Triumph's, Mojo's, and now another Premier. This seven footer is an absolute workhorse, I paired it with a Daiwa Zillon TWS with 17 lb fluorocarbon for all purpose. Full-corks are classic and comfortable if you have large hands. Only "drawback" is that you may need to re-seal the cork every few seasons, no big project.There are lighter rods in the same price range, but St. Croix rods are very durable in my experience.

I had a St Croix rod for 10 years that worked great. So I bought this new St Croix and paid extra to get the USA version. The eye broke off the rod on day 1 and I can't get anyone to address this problem after asking for the last 3 months. I thought I would go "public" and see if that can get things moving.Update: It's now November 2nd and still no reply from the seller or the company. AVOID both!Tom P

this is a fantastic product after breaking two other light poles on big fish i purchased this pole.using a 2 oz spro bucktail i had great feel of the lure on the bottom while fishing for fluke (summer flounder) off New Jersey in the ocean. I also hooked up with several Blue fish 7-10 lbs and landed same after a 5 minute fight. I also hooked and caught a 35 lb striped bass with this pole.This pole exceeded my expectations. and I have since purchased a second St Croix rod pc70 mhf.the price for these poles was very good.

This rod has a great feel and action. I purchased this at the same time I purchased an over $300 bait casting rod. After using them both extensively, I can tell you that I like this rod better for the slow bottom work of fall bass fishing. I can feel every stone on the bottom with this and can get some great action off of drop lines and Texas rigs. I caught more bass this fall off of this than I have in the last 3 years combined. Well worth the money, Preforms like a rod three times it's cost. I definitely recommend this rod. I can't wait to use it again in the spring.
