St. Croix Mojo Glass vs Daiwa Tatula Elite Glass Crankbait Rods

[OriahLove]

Hello friends! 

Long time reader, first time poster here.

Im looking for a MediumHeavy/Moderate crankbait casting rod that I can throw big trebles lures, topwater and stuff like the 168 sized S-Waver.

I have a St. Croix Mojo bass Med/Fast that I love, so naturally I tend to want to go back to them for this job. However I love my Daiwa reels, and this rod will be paired with a Daiwa Tatula 150HS casting reel, so it makes me feel like the Daiwa Tatula Elite Glass Crank rod would fit or balance well with it? Plus I read the Tatula rods are well liked. I also am a fan of St. Croix solid warrantee. So I am torn and unsure, and would love any words of advice or guidance you can lend me. Also open to other suggestions! Thanks very much for you time.

Medium-Heavy for an S-Waiver 168? Only if you want to chance breaking your rod. All the rods you've listed are rated to 1 oz max and the S-Waiver 168 is 1&5/8oz. You'd need to go to a heavier rod like the Fury 795SB (swimbait rod) to handle those big lures.

I think you are looking at a swimbait rod for that bait.

Thank both very much. You are right, and with more research i think ill go with the new Tatula 300 to pair with the 795sb. I appreciate the help!
