An Outdoor Guy Posted September 3, 2016 Posted September 3, 2016 Was looking around at Dicks today and I saw a St. Croix Triumph X casting rod sitting on the shelf. took a good hard look at it and I kinda liked it. Aside from the personally preferences of the split grips how is this rod? If I were to get this rod it is not going to be a technique specific rod by any means. I will be throwing anything and everything on it. It is a medium power fast action in 7' for $100 my other medium rod in my last post is going to my woman so she can learn a baitcaster. so I'm looking for a new one. advice is appreciated! Quote
Super User Scott F Posted September 3, 2016 Super User Posted September 3, 2016 It has the St. Croix name on it. It's a good rod. Quote

EvanT123 Posted September 3, 2016 Posted September 3, 2016 Check out the st croix bargin room. You might find it cheaper there. http://stcroixrods.com/shop/freshwater/triumph-x-casting-rod/ 1 Quote

I've felt them they feel good to me. More important, if you like them that's what matters. Might want to hurry because @ScottF might scoop them all up! Quote
Super User NYWayfarer Posted September 4, 2016 Super User Posted September 4, 2016 I have a 2 piece St Croix Triumph that I have had for years. It has served me well and stood the test of time. Back when I bought it the arguement was this rid was the only St Criox that was made in Mexico and not the USA. Still a quality pole and no complaints from me. The Triumph X looks great with the split grip. I say go for it. Quote
Grantman83 Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 I honestly prefer the old version. These seem clunkier to me... But for $60, why not Quote

Grantman83 Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 I think it was a combination of the split grip and the squared off butt cap. Granted, this only comparing them in store next to each other. St croix now has several rods in the same price point so it certainly gives you options. Quote
