Tripp86 Posted June 9, 2018 Posted June 9, 2018 St croix mojo med xf vs fenwick bass tech elite love the looks of the fenwick so which one and why thanks Quote
LCG Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 Went through exact same thing last year, same two rods as well. Tried three fenwick elite techs, two had stripped threads on the reel seat. Found the st Croix 6'8 m-xf spinning rod and it felt like the one. After fishing with it for a year and a bit, zero regrets. Very versatile and sensitive. I use the rod for all techniques I would use a spinning rod for. Comfortable, solid build with great backbone and a nice tip action. I also have a fenwick hmg 6'9 ml-f that I really like, but I use the st Croix more. Keep thinking of selling the fenwick, but can't bring myself to do it. It still has a special place in my heart. Both brands are great, but St Croix is winning me over. Especially when I picked up an Avid x 6'6 Mh-f casting rod, very impressed. Between the mojo spinning and avid x casting, I have all my bases covered for what I do. I did look at a fenwick 6'8 world class casting rod that felt awesome too. 1 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted June 10, 2018 Global Moderator Posted June 10, 2018 Try to get somewhere you can hold both, bring the reel you're going to put on it if you can. Both companies make very nice rods, I doubt you'll be disappointed with either. I have more St. Croix rods, but I really like the couple of Fenwicks I have too. 1 Quote
ClackerBuzz Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 Definitely St Croix for the quality and customer service. The fake carbon fiber reel seat rings on the Fenwick bass are garbage. They literally aren't secured to the cork or blank so they flex/wiggle and are an obvious problem. https://imgur.com/a/RJMtkeU Quote
