Ravens52988 Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) So going off of few dozen complaints out of the thousands upon thousands built is warrant enough not to buy them. People shouldnt buy chevys or dodges etc. because of their problems? Blind devotion? So using a rod that has never given me 1 single problem(knock on wood) is blind devotion if thats the case everyone is guilty of blind devotion. Ive tried and used many other brands and found that st croix suits me best. Doesnt mean that i will say that one company sucks or that st croix is better, just that st croix isnt as inferior as everyone else makes it out to be because there are obviously plenty of people that feel the same way to me when it comes to st croix. Bought my rod from bps during the spring sale and have nothing but good things to say when ive dealt with st croix for my inshore and other rods. If youre comparing a st croix to an edsel(which is one of the dumbest comparisons ive ever heard) that means by your logic that 75% of the other rod companies are trash.

Fishing Daddy Posted July 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 I think I would go with Mojo, I like star stellar as well, but the shipping from Tackle direct is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, a really small sample. 2 of them blew early into their first day. 2 out of 3 aint bad. There is/was somethign up with some of them in a run at some point.

Going back a few years Mojo surf rods earned a reputation for snapping and having their reel seats come loose; sorry to say but it was way more than just a few dozen. I would assume STC fixed whatever was wrong and hopefully it's not happening anymore. The two Mojos I had didn't get much use before I sold them and they were both fine. STC is a good company to deal with if and when you do have a problem as they stand behind their products and have a good rep for customer service.

Jimichanga Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 TD wanted $50.00 for "oversized packaging" and $10.00 for shipping to Delaware. The oversized packaging only applies to 8 foot or larger one piece rods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romer Treece Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Mojos are very good rods. There were some problems a ways back with both blanks and reel seats, but I'm sure it's been corrected. I have a 10'6" 3/4-4oz going on 4 years now and it's been nothing but great for plugging in that weight range. St. Croix has one of, if not the best, warranty/repair policies in the business. So rest assured, if you do encounter a problem, they will take care of you. I'm looking at maybe adding the 8' myself...even though I don't really need it, lol.

HugeDinghy Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 they send you a $20 fed ex sticker and you have to ship back to them (get a tube etc), then get an answer on if they will replace the rod. that aint best in the business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romer Treece Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 They’re pretty damn good, regardless of whether or not you have to find your own tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
