lookn4lunkrs Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Lookin at the st Croix bass mojo lineup . Any good? What's comparable? I like them cause they're labeled for each technique. being new to serious bassin, it helps. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted October 12, 2011 Global Moderator Posted October 12, 2011 I like some of them, not a fan of others. They take a beating, so if you're hard on your rods they are a good option. They aren't the lightest offering at that price range. Just because they're labeled for a technique doesn't mean they can't be used for something else. I have the 7' MH "spinnerbait" rod, I've never thrown a spinnerbait on it but it does work pretty well for a pitching rod. If you like the feel of them I'd go for it. Quote
yfz 450 Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 I have 2 of them for soft plastic fishing and love them. The are by no means the best rods but they are inexpensive and a great rod to start with Quote
BigMoneyGrip Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 I have the topwater rod and it is a really good "all around" rod. I have a Citica E on it. Quote
Super User tomustang Posted October 13, 2011 Super User Posted October 13, 2011 If your around a dicks sporting goods, they have some on 25% clearance Quote
Super User QUAKEnSHAKE Posted October 13, 2011 Super User Posted October 13, 2011 If your around a dicks sporting goods, they have some on 25% clearance OOOH!! If this clearance is like the clearance back in January have them ring-up the price. St Croix rods were clearance and then 50% off clearance price but not mentioned. Bought two Premiers for $24 each!!! Quote
Super User skunked_again Posted October 13, 2011 Super User Posted October 13, 2011 Lookin at the st Croix bass mojo lineup . Any good? What's comparable? I like them cause they're labeled for each technique. being new to serious bassin, it helps. i think those labels are nothing more than a fart in the wind. truth told i though the Wright yellow sticks were a much better rod, but to each their own. i might have liked the series more had i tried a rod under 7'.

Super User slonezp Posted October 13, 2011 Super User Posted October 13, 2011 Picked up one at Cabelas bargain cave a couple years ago. Best 20 bucks I ever spent. Fenwick HMG series are comprable in price and I feel they are a nicer rod. Quote
NCLifetimer Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I was told by a Dicks associate working in the fishing section that the Mojo Bass rods were the same blanks as the Premier series, with different labels. Not sure if the guides are different, i think the handles are if my memory is correct. Im considering picking up either the Mojo or the Premier myself soon. Quote
Super User QUAKEnSHAKE Posted October 14, 2011 Super User Posted October 14, 2011 If paying full price for Premier $120-$130 another rod to check is the Quantum Smoke rod. I have both Premier MH/F & Smoke M/F like the Smoke better. A 7' M/F Premier weighs 4.2oz -7' M/F Smoke 3.4oz. I feel the Smoke has better sensitivity as well. Dragging senko on the bottom just get more feeback. Feel senko wobble better/more from a twitch. The Smoke guides are much less noisy(nearly quiet) with braid but my Premier sounds like violin with Suffix PB on. The reelseats are different though so deffinately try the Smoke out to feel the seat if it likeable to you some dont like it others do. Oh one negative when I use spro frog is the Smoke micro-guide tip will get plugged at times fishing braid in slop. In this specific its the only downside Ive noticed with micros. Quote

The Mojo, Premier, and Triumph are pretty much the same blank, but the rest of the components may vary a bit from one model to the next. They're not necessarily bad rods, but I think there are definitely lighter and more sensitive rods out there for the same price. 1 Quote
Super User .RM. Posted October 15, 2011 Super User Posted October 15, 2011 All good rods in their price point all are made on the SC2 blanks, The Mojo & Triumph rods are made in Mexico The Premier is made in the US.... Tight Lines! Quote
Super User tomustang Posted October 15, 2011 Super User Posted October 15, 2011 Seems twice a year this question comes up about the mojos, so here's a difference in the three: Triumph - Made in Mexico, Paint job, Black Guide Frames, Full Cork, ECS or TCS Reel Seats Mojo - Made in Mexico, Paint job, Black Chrome Guide Frames, Split Grip Only, ECS Reel Seats Premier - Made in USA, Paint job, Black Chrome Guide Frames, Full Cork and Several Split Models, ECS or TCS Reel Seats They all have: SCII Graphite Baston Forcast Hard Aluminum Oxide Guides Spinning Models have DPS Seats Quote
Shifty Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 I have the 6' 6'' MH F jig and worm. And I use it with soft plastics. No problems here....very happy with it. Quote
