Nick T Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 Hello. Has anyone tried the new Triumph Inshore rods by St.Croix? Ive been thinking about buying one to use for when I’m fishing in rivers or bays. If you have used it, what has been your experience? Also, which model(s) did you use.

Shock Collar Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Just bought the 7'6" MH version yesterday. Haven't used it yet, but seems very solid. Will update after first outing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skunkoff Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 I had both the new Triumph IS as well as the new gen Mojo IS in my hand at "a big sporting goods store". Both felt beautiful, both 7MHF. I ended up getting the Mojo because I liked the guides, hook keeper, handle and SCIII better. But for $30 less, that Triumph felt crazy nice! And I actually like the color of the Triumph better. Very unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dig the aqua color of the Mojo Inshore though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeybacn Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) I have the 7'6 Triumph. Fun little rod, havent landed a fish on it yet but I hope to change that tomorrow. Edited April 28, 2021 by Turkeybacn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new Triumph FW rods also changed to a very dark blue, which also looks pretty sharp. A friend picked up the 76MHF Triumph inshore and loves it. Paired with a Penn BTL 5000. Felt nice although to me the 5000 size is a bit overkill. Edited April 28, 2021 by Skunkoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So naturally I would probably go with a BG 3000 or BTLIII3000 if I decide to get the Triumph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shock Collar Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 I have a 4000 Stradic FL on mine and it seems to balance well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konajon Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 I picked up a 7’ MH with a 4000 Stradic fl over the winter. Have not used it yet but it seems/ feels nice enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the info on their website it appears to be 9.9 oz. Thats less than the Diawa BG 3000 (at 10.8 oz) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skunkoff Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 I have an older Quantum Iron PTS40 on my 7. A little big but not terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben T Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 I have the 7' MH Triumph paired with a 4000 Vanford for use here in SWFL. Feels good and light, especially with the Vanford. Have caught several species of fish with it. Bought both at a local Ace Hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive seen some reviews that said the MH Triumph Inshore is a little stiff. Is that something you have noticed? How has that rod worked for you so far.
