what is wrong with you?i love st.croix rods and have owned and fished them in the past.i found the differences in the mojo rods to be a lack of quality compared to the other st.croixs i have owned.i was considering buying one until i found this issue.i am also considering buying a legend extreme.where do you come up with i hate things i don't own?dude you are way off base.if you're talking about powerpro and loomis as examples you're furthur off base.i used powerpro for years until better lines came out.my braid choices have progressed as braided lines got better.as far as loomis goes i don't own one but i've fished with my buddies and i've seen my buddies break them constantly.i've also put up with tons of pflueger bashing on this and other forums.maybe you should think before you speak.
