can you buy these rods separate from the reel?

this is like the exact opposite of what I want in a rod lol. when I saw the thread title, I was worried they had ditched the cork.

I think the rods look awesome.

Wonder what the difference is between the HD series and the EVO besides where they’re Sold.

I just saw a video on The Hook Up Tackle's youtube where Teckel is about to producing a 6'9" frog rod.

One of the GSM sales-managers confirmed Sulphur Springs was closed. It's in the Dobyns facebook community for all to see.

don't think Edge Rods are Shimano..?

It's only St. Croix. Mojos were nice rods before the bizarre gimmick.

I love those Legend Glass rods. Gorgeous.

I’m sorry for being so sour Glenn, I should just keep my opinion to myself regarding St. Croix, I just loved everything about them. I loved that they were “boring”but maybe I’m in the extreme minority. I hope everyone enjoys their rods!

To each his own and I’m glad you enjoy your rods. In my personal opinion they are moving more towards gimmicky Lews/Abu/13 fishing style designs and “radical!” rod names that are just cringe. Do we really need a fishing rod named “WARHORSE?” in trying to chase trends they have lost their way and a long-time customer. once again just my opinion.

I couldn't have said this better myself. I've complained a lot about St. Croix on here but it's because I used to love them (15+ rods). I want a simple rod that is built well and looks classic, made in North America. Croix had that market covered. Nothing they have done appeals to me anymore, I have sold 10 of my rods and have another 5 to sell and I'm done. It bums me out, but the company is just different. Someone made a joke about Pure Fishing owning them soon, but the fact is PF owns Fenwick and those rods have COMPLETELY made a turnaround for the better, and I am considering trying a new HMG or Elite. If not Fenwick then maybe Falcon, or even try a Loomis, who knows. I constantly see adds on instagram for the PHSYX rods and just think to myself "why would anyone actually want to buy a rod with a handle that looks like a spaceship?"

is this the travel rod? What line do you like to use?

I don't know how serious you are about doing this, but man it sounds awesome. I've been thinking of doing something similar to be honest....I have too much clutter on the water and in my head haha.

Sadly I don’t think I’ll ever buy another St. Croix.
