As some of you may have read , I had two of my St Croix rods broken last week when I was clipped by a SUV and ran into a guardrail.
I lost a 5’4” Panfish and a 5’4” Trout Series .
Although I liked the blanks SC used in these rods , I think they used cheap guides and and wasn’t impressed with the handle/reelseat .
I’ve decide to replace one of the last rods this morning with a St Croix Premier PS60ULF . A six foot one piece ultralight fast action rod .
I wish they made a 5’6” one piece .
I own a 5’6” two piece Premier ULF , but to me the tip section is a little too much like a noodle . One would think , being a two piece would stiffen up the rod , but I think they went too far trying to achieve a fast action two piece rod .
Less than $10 difference in final price and made in the USA .
BTW , not ready to go JDM yet .
