St. Croix Mojo

Just wondering if anyone has used or has knowledge of how the St. Croix Mojo rods compare to the Premiers, Triumps or other brands of rods (Shimano, BPS, etc.) Are they any good? The price seems pretty fair and reasonable.

I heard they use the same blanks for those as they do in the Premiers, but the rods are just put together a little different. The word is that they are indeed a great bargain, much like the Premiers (only even a little cheaper).

By the way-- speaking of St. Croix... I was asking for cranking rod recommendations a few months back on here and got alot of good replies. (Thanks everyone) Well, I made up my mind and ended up buying a St. Croix Premier (Graphite) 7ft MH Crankbait Rod. It came down to the Premier (graphite) and the Premier Glass and I went with the graphite because it was lighter, less bulky, and more sensitive. It is a sweet rod.

After looking around a bunch and looking really closely at St. Croix line, I don't think you can go wrong with a St. Croix rod (IMO).

I tend to like St Croix rods. I have several Premiers that I think are nice rods. Certainly good enough for creek fishin. I have several Avids which are nice rods as most are in that price range. I was interested in the Mojo series UNTIL I picked one up. They felt REALLY tip heavy. More so than most rods. I know a reel on it would have changed that a bit. I know balancing can be done, but gosh shouldn't the folks at St Croix done that before they released them?

I think I'll stick with what I've got for now.

I've never fished a Triumph, but what I've heard is they are Premiers made overseas so the production cost is lower.
