St. Croix Rod unveiled eight new or completely reengineered rod series for 2024 last week at ICAST – the world’s largest fishing tackle trade show.

Headlined by the totally reimagined and comprehensive Mojo Bass series featuring the proprietary TRIGON handle and Dynamix reel seat as well as the lighter, more comfortable, and expanded Avid Inshore series, St. Croix’s new-for-2024 rod introductions include the redesigned Avid Series of multispecies freshwater rods, all-new Connect Series fly rods, improved Bass X Series, all-new Panfish Ice Combos, expanded Onchor Salmon & Steelhead Series, and the extended Legend Tournament Pike Series.

Mojo Bass TRIGON was voted Best Freshwater Rod by attending buyers and media in the ICAST 2023 New Product Showcase Awards.

“St. Croix offers our congratulations to the companies who earned honors in the other categories of this year’s highly competitive ICAST New Product Showcase Awards,” says St. Croix Brand Manager, Ryan Teach. “Winning one of these awards takes innovative ideas, dedication, investment, hard work, and execution on behalf of the anglers who ultimately benefit. We’re humbled and honored that the industry professionals who make a living selling or reporting on fishing tackle selected Mojo Bass TRIGON as the best new freshwater rod amidst a packed category. Everyone in the St. Croix family feels great pride and a real sense of gratitude for this recognition, but this award is really for our anglers – anglers who will feel as much satisfaction and pride in using one of these incredible new rods as we feel in making them.”
