Super User *Hootie Posted June 12, 2016 Super User Posted June 12, 2016 Picked up my third Mojo Bass rod in the last two weeks. I'm really impressed with the sensitivity of these rods. Unbelievable for a $120.00 rod. Oh, that is the second generation Mojos I am talking about. Hootie 4 Quote
Super User Jar11591 Posted June 12, 2016 Super User Posted June 12, 2016 I'm gonna have to pick up a Mojo. I still have a first generation Mojo, and while it is an ok rod, I'm not in love with it. I have heard a lot of good things about the Mojo 2s. It's about time to buy another rod anyway... 2 Quote
Super User lmbfisherman Posted June 12, 2016 Super User Posted June 12, 2016 That's good to hear! Is it stiff still? That was my beef overall for St Croix rods. 1 Quote

Yes, stiff as a pool que. That was always my preference. Most of my Loomis rods are heavy power. The Shimano crucial is stiff for a medium heavy, just like the Mojos. Hootie 2 Quote

There really is a big difference between the rods IMO: much lighter and more sensitive. You'll definitely like it 2 Quote

Super User lmbfisherman Posted June 13, 2016 Super User Posted June 13, 2016 I wouldn't buy a Crucial any longer, I'd rather buy a Zodias rod. 2 Quote

Hootie Well, I don't have any of the newer Crucials but I have a bunch of the old original cork handled models. I also have a bunch of St. Croix Avids (SCIII) and I think the Crucials are pretty close in sensitivity to the Avid. Maybe not quite equal, but pretty close. Always thought the Crucial fished well above it's price point. It's good to know the new gen Mojo is in this league and for their price that comes to pretty incredible value. Great subject Hootie! 1 Quote

Super User DogBone_384 Posted June 15, 2016 Super User Posted June 15, 2016 That's a big change ... I bought one in '13 and didn't find it a great feeling rod.... maybe it's time to revisit the brand.... On 6/12/2016 at 9:38 PM, Raul said: Bait monkey biting Hootie again !

Smallieseeker Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 I bought a spinning mojo over the winter and so far I love it. Its been my number 1 setup this year! Perfect for dragging tubes and throwing weightless t-rig senkos 1 Quote

Hootie How do these compare to the BPS Carbonlite rod? 1 Quote
Onvacation Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 Buy a Mojo. I like my Carbonlite, but love my wife's Mojo. My wife thinks the Carbonlite feels "dead" in comparison. To be fair, her Mojo is ML XF and my Carbonlite is MF, but it is still a big difference between the two. I would hurry up and buy one quickly though before Hootie snatches them all up. 1 Quote

I bought one and, after fishing it, bought another. Excellent value! Tight lines, Bob 1 Quote
