If you're not in the market for a custom rod, this would be my suggestion for inshore.

Great rod! The weight of this heavy rod felt super light in my hand. It was stiff but I was able to feel every bite. I used for rockfishing here in California coast outside the bay area. I paired it with a avet sxj. Fished 200ft down and had no problem bringing up rockfish and a 16 oz weight.

Great Value and Warranty

Model: MSWC76HMF - I was looking for a quality boat rod to pair with my Tranx 500HG and this rod matches up well at a decent price point. I have only tried to test cast it at a local reservoir with a 4.5oz lure into a strong wind and distance was excellent. It has the strong backbone for offshore species and enough tip sensitivity for jigging inshore. A friend bought this model read more and the MSWC76MHMF to test them for casting with the Tranx and found the HMF to be a better all around match. Looking forward to some offshore hookups with this rod. Great warranty too!

I started with an inshore mojo and fell in love with these rods. Only rods I’m buying from now on. I paired this rod with a spinfisher vi 6500LL and love it ! Using mostly for Bottom fishing mutton’s and grouper. I definitely recommend St. Croix rods !!!

Fantastic Rods

These rods are incredible. They’re lightweight and extremely powerful, I would gladly pay double the price. I also own the Mojo inshore and will say the salt series has a much faster action compared to the inshore. I’m a big fish guy and these rods can handle it. Highly recommended.

Asked by John 5 years ago

Would a shimano tyrons 30 fit well with the mojo Mswc80hmf and use for bluefin tuna

CHARLES 4 years ago

It would fit.  St. Croix reel seats work well with Shimano reels and the balance of a 30 and an 8ft rod would be a good fit.

Asked by Sharky 6 years ago

Looking for a spinning Mojo Salt rod for pier and jetty use in SW Florida . Any suggestions on a specific model?

Donald 6 years ago

The 7' MH or 7'6'' MH would be an ideal rod for pier fishing. Your going to want a rod with a bit more backbone than the M power rods would have and the MH's models have just that.

Asked by Brandon 6 years ago

is MSWC70MHF sturdy enough to handle 8oz lead while fishing for sea bass off NJ? trying to decide is MHF or HF is better suited?

Donald 6 years ago

Either one would be able to handle the 8 oz weight. I would advise if you plan on going heavier than 8 i would go with the H model.

Asked by Eliseo Sandoval 6 years ago

How many ounces can the MSWC70HF handle? Looking for a good blackfish/ offshore wreck rod to go with a seigler SG.

Donald 6 years ago

The MSWC70HF model can handle up to 10 oz weighs if your using it for blackfishing. This rod is a heavy duty rod that can handle the abuse and can withstand the weight of heavy sinkers while bringing in some decent size fish.
