bass raider Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 hey guys been thinking about picking up a new rod at the bass pro spring fishing classic& I was going to trade an old ugly stik for either a falcon, duckett, shimano(if they're participating) or a st. Croix. but I cant decide on which model st. Croix to consider. I've been looking at the premier, mojo bass, and the rage. which one of those three would you pick and why? and would you pick one of those st.croixs over the other brands I listed? thanks. Quote
Super User webertime Posted January 30, 2015 Super User Posted January 30, 2015 Sort of depends on what you want to do with the rod. If you are going bottom contact then a Rage or preferably an Avid. If you are tossing treble baits or spinnerbaits then a Mojo or Premier. Quote
Mr Swim Jig Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Can't really go wrong with any of those 3 brands. I don't believe Shimano participates. For St Croix rods I would go with either the Mojo or Premiere. They are both really good rods and you can't go wrong with either one. Quote

Super User F14A-B Posted January 30, 2015 Super User Posted January 30, 2015 I second the Avid, I think the rage is a decent stix too, I don't love the reel seat a lot though.. Quote
plumworm Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I have 8 Premiers a Mojo and a Rage. I love the full cork handles on the Premiers. The Mojo is OK but I totally don't like the Rage. Couldn't even tell you why really. My vote, Premier. Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted January 30, 2015 Super User Posted January 30, 2015 Premier gets my vote. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the other two models are made in Mexico. Quote
Super User aavery2 Posted January 30, 2015 Super User Posted January 30, 2015 The blank in the Rage is superior to the Premier and Mojo. If the rod is going to be primarily used for moving baits any of them would be fine, just choose the one that feels the best to you. If the rod was going to be used for contact baits, I would go with the Rage, it transmits vibration better than the others. 1 Quote
Super User Angry John Posted January 30, 2015 Super User Posted January 30, 2015 I have not fished any of the lower models but the premier. I have a ton of avids and legends and there great sticks. If its not to much of a leap i would grab an avid 7'MHF as one of the most versitle sticks around. Quote
Joe Schmuckatelli Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I like they rage, ive looked at all of these rods in store and purchased the rage mine is a mh xf 1 Quote
OntarioFishingGuy Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Avid if possible, if not then Rage or Premier. Quote
Tim Kelly Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I like the mojo and avid x builds best out of all their ranges. The Avid blank is better than the mojo blank though, so a better rod if you can stretch to it. Quote
