Alex Phillips Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I'm stuck between buying either a St. Croix Mojo Bass or a Duckett Micro Magic rod. I need a good rod for fishing with soft plastics. I am looking to buy a good, sensitive, low price rod. It would be in a casting version. Any suggestions?? Quote
Chattahoochee Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I have a ST Croix Mojo Bass MBC70MF that I use for Texas rigged soft plastics. I love it. Quote
fishnla Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I bought a Duckett before last spring, and after catching just one fish I knew that every rod I buy will be Duckett. I love them. Quote
Super User *Hootie Posted February 20, 2012 Super User Posted February 20, 2012 Just so happens, I have both rods. I would take the Ducketts hands down. Actually I wish I had never bought the Mojos. Don't get me wrong, they are an excellent rod. They are just a whole lot heavier than the Ducketts. That lightness has spoiled me. I don't like to criticize one product over another, since they are all great, so it just comes to personal choice. I work at BPS, so I am handling these rods all day long, and to me , it seems there is none lighter in the store. I suggest, take your reel with you, and mount it on both rods, then you will see and you can make a more informed choice. I will also say, we do sell more Mojos than Ducketts, but that could be because of the $50.00 price difference. Anyway, good luck with your choice. GOOD FISHING!!! Hootie Quote

The Mojo feels like a tank in ur hands compared to the Duckett. Check the specs--the have to be several ounces lighter. If you put ur reel on a Duckett I guarantee you'll buy it. Quote
bigfishbk86 Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I've fished both and its not even a comparison, duckett hands down. In this case it wouldn't matter what model you were trying to compare, the duckett is what you want! Quote
The Next KVD Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I agree on the Duckett. I own both mojos and ducketts. Ducketts are in a completely different league than the Mojo. If I had to go with a St.Croix it would be an Avid over the Mojo anyday. The Duckett has a longer warranty (20 years vs 5 years) and is alot lighter and more sensative. You may want to check out an Avid or a Rage as they are in that price range with the Duckett. The Avid may not have a split grip or micros but it is a proven performer that comes with a lifetime warranty and is Made in USA! Quote
zip pow Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I bought a duckett last week used it over the weekend feels like you holding air. Its awesome Quote
dcorp Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I had a few Mojo bass rods and have fished my buddies Duckett Micro a few times. the Ducketts are nicer rods but they also cost more. The 6'6" model has a short handle which I like, but some people don't. The duckett also felt lighter and better balanced. If you want the better between the 2 buy the Duckett. If you want to save some money, buy the Mojo, either way you will be happy, both rods catch fish, lol. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 22, 2012 Global Moderator Posted February 22, 2012 Unless you're finding the Duckett at a discount that's not a very level comparison. The Duckett is a much nicer rod but it also cost quite a bit more. I have several mojos and like them but if I'd had the extra money to spend I would have bought an Avid instead because it's a nicer rod. So if you've got the cash to drop then buy the Duckett, if not the mojo will work just fine. Quote
Northern Strain Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 I have a Mojo Bass and it is okay. Like others have said it is tip heavy, and I am sure there are better rods in its price range. I would get the Duckett Micro. Quote
