St Croix Victory two piece?

[Micheal Rene Spiering]

What are the odds of St. Croix making a two piece version of the Victory spinning rods? I see that most other series of rods have one available. I'm interested in the Victory but a two piece is a much easier sell for me.

I would contact them and ask? St Croix is usually very good at responding to questions.

I would say very low. Their higher end or bass focused lines dont seem to offer 2 pieces since lots of bass fishermen seem to be against them. (Legends, mojo, bass x). The 2 pieces are found in premier and avid, plus saltwater lines. The victory seems to be bass focused so I wouldn't get your hopes up. Ive got a 2 piece premier that Ive had zero issues with an havent taken apart in years. Sensitive enough to catch a 13" walleye short striking a stinger hook this fall in 30' of water but ask about it here and some will tell you its junk.

I would contact them and ask, but at that price point I would not expect to see a 2-piece rod.

I have a two piece mojo, they also have two piece in the legend elite, avid and premier.

Youre right there is 2 piece mojos. I was wrong about that one. The legend elite is another non-technique/species specific line similar to the avid and premier so that doesnt surprise me. I was referring to legend tournament bass.

How do the avids compare to the victory?

The Victory rods are definitely a bit more sensitive but that said my Avid X rod is not bad at all.

Maybe I just need to bite the bullet on a one piece ?

The preference for 2 piece is transporting?

Yes. Storage and transportation as well as convenience while wading which is how I primarily fish.

Think I am going to bite the bullet and go with a 7'3" Medium Extra Fast, anyone have this rod? How does it balance with the reel you have on? Thinking about pairing with a 2500 Tatula LT or Ultegra

Considering maybe going with the ML option as well. I think I would prefer the longer rods for casting distance.

Right now I have a Medium Fast 7ft Tatula Spinning rod that is my main "do most things" rod.

 

Any suggestions or experience with the victory spinning rods would be appreciated.
