Crack at the joint of the top half of the rod

James M.
2 years ago

Really enjoyed this rod for how light it was, unfortunately after getting done a session I noticed a Crack that goes through the poles joint on the top half of the rod. Never took it to a jetty, dropped or abused it. And it was only out for 6 sessions maybe... maybe I got a lemon but I won't be risking getting the 10'6 ML again

I really love this rod for throwing 3/8 ounce bucktails in the surf for small stripers. It’s got great action and sensitivity and it balances well with my vr50. Highly recommend!

Bought the rod direct from st croix…10’6” 1/2oz -2oz rating…great quality…cast light spoons and lures as well as cut bait using 2oz lead..great action and easy on the back and light..paired with Penn slammer 4500 which makes a great combo..have a 4000 Stradic that would make it lighter yet that I want to try.
I also have several Avid and Mojo surf rods..as well as fresh… read more water rods..very happy with the St Croix rods..

With the help of a salesperson, I chose this rod to take to Belize. It was perfect for plane travel and handled a dozen big barracudas and various other fish with no difficulty. It’s strong and light.

Got the 9’ med-mod. Exactly what I needed. Loads great with 1 & 2oz lures, 75 and 100+ yards with each lure size, respectively.

Only personal complaint is the foregrip: sure it’s very comfy, but it’s kinda ‘sponge-y’. I’d rather have a full-contact/firm grip like a shrink tube. Very minor thing to worry about though.

I own a few surf rods ranging from Tsunami, Dark Matter, G loomis, etc. This St Croix Seage is probably my favorite so far. I love the Medium Light action. I can cast Jigs to lures to cover Fluke to Stripers for all season action. This a great rod!

Loving this rod!

I am loving this rod! It casts super easily for such a large rod. It casts noticeably farther than my other surf rods, even when using lighter baits. This rod is considerably more expensive than my other surf rods, but I can see why! You get what you pay for with St. Croix. It's super lightweight but has backbone. I was working spooks and jerkbaits in the New Jersey surf all weekend… read more with almost no fatigue. I highly recommend this rod!
