jbo225 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Which would you pick of the two for an all around rod, Duckett ghost or St.Croix mojo bass Quote
tbone1993 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 I never fished the duckett so everything would be a trial period. I have fished the mojo and have faith it it so 9/10 i would pick up the mojo. If I were a new buyer I would try out the duckett if the warranty is the same as the croix. Quote
brandonss Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 I have a mojo 7 foot medium heavy moderate action I use for cranking an I like it but I just bought a duckett ghost 7'3 heavy for my jig rod but haven't had the chance to use it my first tournament is this weekend Quote
Super User tomustang Posted February 18, 2014 Super User Posted February 18, 2014 Mojo has more options and a 5 year warranty, it's average in the sensitivity department. Ghost, still new, jury is still out, 1 year warranty Quote
bassguytom Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 I love my mojo bass drop shot rod. Don't have any experience with the Duckett rods. Quote
NathanW Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Would be interested to hear what people think about the action of the Ghost rods...The Ducket rods I have owned (all broken now) have been pretty moderate action and great backbone, which I loved for certain things. I would probably pick one up if they have that same, not-so-fast action as the Micro/Macro Magics. Quote
mjseverson24 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 I would have no reservations about either rods, The mojo will be a little heavier rod, with a better warranty, plenty sensitive, the duckett will be a lighter better balanced rod, probably more sensitive, but only backed with a 1 year warranty. personally I would go with the mojo, i like all of the ones I have.

Chris186 Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I have a ghost, but I havent been able to fish with it yet. My father has a Mojo which I have used, and I didnt like it. To me it felt stiff and very tip heavy with an Abu Orra sx on it. With the same reel, the Ghost is much less tip heavy and feels alot lighter. Thats how they compare to me anyway. Quote
conorsixtakc Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 I'm probably going to buy the 6'8" medium extra fast Mojo for small finesse jigs. As some people have already said the Mojos are a tad heavier than their rating, but I feel good about a heavier medium blank with an extra fast tip. Bang for the buck and durability are also major factors of consideration for me. 1 Quote
c.rushing2010 Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 I love all 3 of my mojos. Haven't been able to try out a duckett Quote
Super User jbsoonerfan Posted February 24, 2014 Super User Posted February 24, 2014 IMO they are two different animals. I have only used my Ghost once so I can't comment on them long term. I have the 7' H mojo and it feels much heavier and stiffer than my 7'3" H Ghost. I really like the feel of the Ghost rods. First tourney is this Sat so I will know more after a day on the water with them. Quote
Super User slonezp Posted February 24, 2014 Super User Posted February 24, 2014 Never fished Dukett. There are better options than the Mojo in that price range Quote
Jay Ell Gee Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 I have the 6'8 M/XF spinning rod (wacky style) and wouldn't trade it for anything. I just don't like the guides on the new Duckett, but it is a nice rod regardless. Quote
tbone1993 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Local rod builder said he fixes more duckett rods than anything else. They just fall apart. Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted February 27, 2014 Super User Posted February 27, 2014 In my opinion , stick with St. Croix.... You're money will be will spent! Duckett rods.... You're money is lost... I have seen the white rods break 10 to 1 over Croix... I am not saying the mojo is bullet proof... However you will have a good rod that really should work very well at that cost. Good luck! Quote

Super User WIGuide Posted February 27, 2014 Super User Posted February 27, 2014 Although I haven't fished a Duckett, I can say the Mojo's are nice rods and I doubt you'd be disappointed! Not to mention, they've got a 5 year warranty vs a 1 year you get with the Duckett. Quote
conorsixtakc Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Mojo has more options and a 5 year warranty, it's average in the sensitivity department. Ghost, still new, jury is still out, 1 year warranty Very nice stick for the price imo I'm picking mine up tomorrow at the Spring classic. Trading in a 20 year old Zebco beater for $20 off a Mojo... Priceless. 1 Quote
BryanBrown Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 I own 2 of the micro magics and was thinking about picking up a ghost when they came out, but after seeing they aren't backed by the 20 year warranty (only 1yr) plus with all the cost cutting features of no cork and insert less guides just didn't seem worth it to me for the price/warranty difference... instead I would rather pay a little extra and order another micro magic.
