pabassin Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 I saw this rod at Bass Pro Shops yesterday and i was wondering if anyone has this rod or know anything about it. Did this rod replace the Triumph series? It seems nicely made for the price (100.00). Quote
rayrock99 Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Im interested in knowing about this rod also. It looks like its a cross between a premier and a legend tourny. Quote

Super User Dan: Posted December 9, 2008 Super User Posted December 9, 2008 Here is one thread about them Here is a second And here is a third. Quote
pabassin Posted December 9, 2008 Author Posted December 9, 2008 Thanks those articles help, I think they are basically the same rod as the premier, but with a little more appeal. Nice feeling rod. I may pick one up or spend a little more on a crucial or carrot stick. Not sure which like more. Quote
Super User firefightn15 Posted December 10, 2008 Super User Posted December 10, 2008 T-rig bought his for tossing Big swimbaits, and I bought one for the weeds. I know basically which rod could be used for a specific purpose, but other than that, do not have near the knowledge that a lot of others here on the forum. That said, I know one thing for sure. It's COOL looking. ;D Quote

It's COOL looking. ;D They are indeed cool looking. I saw a few at the store two weeks ago. They definitely stood out from the other rods. I can't say how they handle fish, but if they're anything like the Premiers, they'll do pretty well. Quote
Guest beowulfx71 Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 they look cool but they are made in Mexico. Quote
Bassoholics Anonymous Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 they look cool but they are made in Mexico. I was about to post that "no, St. Croix has it on their site that they're made in the US" but then I realized that they are made in "North America" while all the rods made in the USA they say "USA". Clever St. Croix...clever. Quote
pabassin Posted December 12, 2008 Author Posted December 12, 2008 Well if you were to compare the Premier & the Mojo, is there a big difference? Basically, there is a $20-$40 depending on which model you choose. Quote
Olebiker Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 They are very light and, if you like a split grip, are a good deal. The only thing to keep in mind is that St. Croix uses Batson guides on this rod. Those guides have been a problem for some fishermen. The inserts have a tendency to fall out. Quote

Clever St. Croix...clever. Um... Mexico would be Central America, North America would encompass the United States and Canada. That said these rods seam like they are a great buy. Hmmm... last years Citica on sale for $89. plus Mojo equal nice rig for under two bills, Nice! Quote

North America includes Canada, Greenland, U.S.A., Mexico, Cuba, and whatever other islands are in the vicinity. The other six continents are South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and Antarctica. Quote
bigmountaineer Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 I bought the 7'0 MF , the 7'0 HF and the 7'0 MF spinning and they are all outstanding. For $ 280 I got three really nice rods. Quote

I still think it's going to be a sweet combo! Joel Quote
strick9 Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 The Mojo rods are made on the same blank as the Premier and the Triumph. I have had several Premiers and they are very nice rods and I have never had an issue with the guide inserts. I just bought a Mojo spinning rod and can't wait to use it!!! I believe the Triumph is made in China the Premier is made in the USA and the Mojo will be made in Mexico but I contacted St. Croix and they did confirm that the Mojo's are currently being made in Wisconsin until the plant in Mexico is ready. There will be no designation on the rods that says which ones were made where. Quote
fooman Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Hoping to pick up a Mojo MBS68MXF spinning rod tomorrow,recieved an email from St Croix stating " We are out of stock on those right now until mid April. All of the models in the Mojo series have been extremely hot, and they're going out as fast as we can build them." Quote
Ineedanewscreenname20170204 Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 I picked up one for spinnerbaits and I like it for the money. I would definitely prefer a crucial but it was another $50 or $60 bucks. Not sure if I like the split grip or not... Quote
bigmountaineer Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 I can't wait to try mine out. Just a little longer with the snow. Quote
