St. Croix is a great company but I don't have faith in their rods made with less than SCIII. I have the old Mojo Bass in SCll and have absolute faith in it. Its a very good rod...why do you say this about the SCll blanks? Quote
fishindad Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Brandon, I also recommend the Falcon. Their "Trap Caster" is one of the best treble hook rods I have used, which includes Dobyns CB704 and CB705 (a close second). It may be a bit long (7 foot) for jerkbaits but it works fine in my hands and I've boated many big St Clair smallies this Spring already with it. And it is an awesome crankbait/spinnerbait/swim jig rod as well. Once you try it, I"m sure you'll agree. Quote
Super User lmbfisherman Posted May 11, 2016 Super User Posted May 11, 2016 Triumph I'd stay away from because they are not that great. They don't definitely don't compare to a Veritas sensitivy wise. Quote

Its a very good rod...why do you say this about the SCll blanks? I used to have an old Premier. Was a great rod overall until I broke it in two while casting. Then another time. And another. And 2 more after that. Of course, St. Croix, being the great company it is, replaced it every time (and I have a few halves laying around from broken rods). I'm not sure I'm casting wrong or something, or maybe I got really unlucky, but a 1/4 oz. crankbait on a ML rod isn't unreasonable. Also, I haven't ever had a problem with the SCIII rods, like the Avid, so I think my problems stem from the lower-quality graphite Quote
