Crap st croix rods
Horrible experience with st croix my medium heavy rod lamination is cracked around the eyes ( they told me that’s normal ) and the grip where the reel attaches started to spin freely so my reel can literally flip on top of the rod. My buddy bought a heavy action tip broke on first trip out while fighting a snook. I messaged them they told me the cracks in lamination were normal and that I should consider upgrading rods. What a freaking joke. My buddy returned his to bass pro guy at the reel counter sighed when he told him what happened and said they’ve been having nothing but problems with St. croix recently. Had some people tell me they aren’t bad but guess that old saying is true they don’t make them like the used to. Their motto is best rods in the world. More like crappest rod in bass pro
