I have 5 of em. Good rod for the money. 4 of the 5 are better than 10 years old.

Don't own one but have heard nothing but positive responses about them. Sounds like a good matchup.

Noles built me a rod using a St. Croix blank. I've had if for probably 4 or 5 years now and just last week broke a guide on it. The rod is still like new, and is my primary weapon of choice.

I have the 7' M that I use primarily for plugs and fishing the groves paired up with a Sabalo 3000.

It's a good pair.

I do like the faster action Wright McGill paired with a 2500 more - I fish that on the flats. It's a bit lighter and with the faster action my elbow doesn't feel the tennis elbow as much (less vibration). I can pretty much fish that all day.

I suspect that the ML would be a good fit.

Fantasic. That is what I was wanting to hear. Sounds like I need to get this done and get to the salt.
Thanks

I thought someone stole that rod.

I got a bass mojo (before the other mojos came out). I've never had any quality issues with the rod and it's still catching lots of fish today.

They did. But with the threat of great bodily harm I got it back.

I have used St Croix rods for fresh and salt fishing.

They are good once you find the length and action you like.

And best of all, is that they are made in the USA.

I fish a St. Croix Premier rod (7' ML) a lot in saltwater. It is essentially the same blank as the Mojo (SCII) but has a more traditional layout. It has a full grip rather than the Mojo's split grip. Both are priced about the same. I like it a lot, but I have some custom rods (GLoomis GL3 and MHX) that I like better.

One thing to think about. Some people have had issues with using split grip rods in Scotty type rod holders. It seems the rear butt grip tends to catch on the rod holder when you take it out causing damage to the grip. Using Scotty fly rod holders would eliminate this problem.

Actually, I think the Mojo rod is made in Mexico. I know St. Croix moved some of their production down there.

Mfgd in Mexico? I had not heard that.

But, I just went to the St Croix web site and they no longer say where their rods are made.

So, I just emailed them and asked directly.

I will let you all know when I get a reply.

I was curious as well so I looked on the 2 StCroix rods that I have...neither one says the location of manufacturing.....

From the St Croix web site......
Designed in Park Falls and handcrafted in Fresnillo, Mexico.........another one gone.....

I also saw that on their site. It can be found here under the topic "ST. CROIX VALUE. KEEPING IT ALIVE IN NORTH AMERICA". I emailed them over a month ago and asked, "Which rods are being produced here in the U.S.A. and which are made in Mexico". I never got a reply!
I'm guessing the employee in Mexico couldn't read an english email.
