Enjoying the medium action

I have several fast action St. Croix rods. This is my fist medium action and I have had very good results with it. No problems with hook ups. Very nice rod.

Good rod in one piece design

Huge fan of 1pc rods by St.Croix feel every bite with these rods. Highly recommend this quality rod for the price.

Not a huge fan.

Rod came packaged securely, but the guides were very much out of alignment (looking down the blank some guides were leaning more to the left or right) other then that it’s a not a bad rod for the price. Might have just got a lemon.

Great value

Have been using this rod for running the beach for Jacks / Cobia / Tarpon. Love the longer butt handle, great for casting heavier live baits.

Nice rods

Recently purchased 2 of these in store, both 66 MH Spinning. They seem like a nice upgrade from the Premier series rods I currently own. They are light, sensitive tip and seem well built with better guides. I will put their durability to the test this summer on my boat. I own about 12 other St Croix Rods all made in USA which is one of the main reasons I stick with them so I was read more sad to see when I got home that these rods are not made in USA.

Not disappointed

The JIS76MHF: A workhorse

Rabin
2 years ago

I've used the JIS76MHF for my last three sessions outside the reefs. I've paired it with a Daiwa BQ MQ 3000. It's a great lightweight set up that I've actually ended up using for deep saltwater dropshop in 30 to 100 yards depths. It has performed remarkably well when tackling hard fighting 10+ lbs red grouper or spangled emperor.

My wife loves it!!

Mark

I got this nice looking rod for my wife as a Xmas present.
She was shocked at first sight and rushed out to use it that day!!
She caught two red fish and 3 three mingo snapper.
I will buy another one next summer.
She liked the fast action tip and how sensative the rod was to bites.

Good utility inshore rod for kayakers

The medium heavy rod is a solid all-round performer - I use it to cast and troll lures from my saltwater kayak and it can still be called upon to do some jigging. I also have the medium light, and St. Croix replaced it under warranty after an unexpected and unfortunate fight with a ray, so I feel doubly confident about the brand.

Best bang for buck

Mike

Very durable and sensitive. Own a few, can’t beat them.

I bought 1 then 2 more

I love these poles, I now have 3. heavy enough for slightly bigger fish and light enough for medium fish.

St. Croix Mojo Inshore Spinning Rods Questions and Answers

Ask a Question

Asked by Richard 6 years ago

I have the 7.6 Medium Heavy Spinning rod. Would that work well with the Daiwa BG 4000 or is that one too heavy for the setup?

Donald 6 years ago

The Daiwa BG 4000 would be suitable to pair with the 7'6'' MH spinning rod. There shouldn't be any balancing issues.

Asked by Javier Pepin 3 years ago

For big snook,tarpon,redfish,etc,and big stripper bass the xh rod with 6 000 reel is a good set up mojo inshore?

Austin Kearney 3 years ago

Yes, the XH model would be the best option for that kind of fishing. 

Asked by Rich 3 years ago

I am getting the 7' 11'' M-H Fast.  Would a 4500 Penn Spinfisher be too heavy for this rod?  It's 14.5 oz.  The 3500 is only a half ounce lighter.  Does a Vanford balance it out better, being lighter?<p>Thanks.</p>

Austin Kearney 3 years ago

The 4500 Spinfisher will work well with this rod, as will the Vanford. It all comes down to personal preference. 

Asked by Corey 3 years ago

Can this rod be used for freshwater fishing too?

Bass O 3 years ago

Hello, yes this rod can be used in freshwater.

Alex T 3 years ago

Asked by Sean 3 years ago

Which rod would pair up well with a saragosa 5000 and 30lb braid for stripers and blues?

Alex T 3 years ago

This rod would definitely hold up to these fish, i would recommend the 7'6 MHF rated rod or HF rated rod depending on what you are typically using to target these fish

Asked by Firas 4 years ago

Hi , what size rod do you recommend for all around fishing (top waters , soft plastics , twitchbait , 1 ounce jigging) (around mangroves and on jetties)

Brian 4 years ago

We would recommend the 7' Medium rated for 3/8-3/4oz lures. Allows you to do a little of everything and pairs well with a 3000 class inshore reel. If you trying to match up to a 4000 or 5000, check out the 7" Medium Heavy.

Asked by Garret 4 years ago

What rod would pair best with a 3000 Shimano spheros inshore <p>When fishing for snook and reds?</p>

Rebecca Redington 4 years ago

You should consider the 7, 7'6 Medium-Heavy models. If you are fishing for bigger snook and reds the Heavy models would be best but a 4000 size reel  would balance better with the heavy.

Asked by Frank 6 years ago

What would be best inshore spinning mojo rod to compliment Stradic ci4 3000 for calicos and sand bass?

Donald 6 years ago

The St Croix MIS70MF Mojo Inshore Spinning Rod would compliment the Stradic 3000 very nicely, especially fishing for calicos and sand bass.

Asked by FrankyG 6 years ago

Planning on matching my Stradic ci4 3000fa with a mojo inshore for Calicos and sand bass. Want a strong backbone, but also want setup to be extra light. Also want rod to be 7’6. Should I go 8-17lb rod or 10-20lb? Just want a lot of balance

Donald 6 years ago

The 8-17 lb rod would be the better fit and provide the action you need fishing for calicos and sand bass.

Asked by Jack 7 years ago

Looking to pair my Penn Clash 4000 with either a MH/H or 7/7.6 for fluke and stripped bass fishing. What do you suggest ?

Devon 7 years ago

I'd suggest the 7' for boat fishing or bank fishing. You may want to go with the 7'6" if you are fishing from shore and want to increase your casting distance. As far as choosing between the MH or H I would consider how heavy the lures and/or weight tha

There are a few options that would pair well. Either the 7ft MH or the 7ft 6 M would pair nicely with the spinfisher 3500. Also will be a great set up for speckled trout and most inshore species.
