"I have a 1 piece Triumph that I love so I figured I'd try a travel version. My rod broke at the base of the second thinnest piece (1 below tip piece). It snapped on a smallish bass mid fight. No crazy hooksets, no big fish on it, no lifting fish out of the water, and all my lures were below the 1/2oz rating. It was probably the third fish landed on the rod. Really disappointed for a brand new rod."
"I don’t know that this was a common issue. I bought (and was broke) in 2022. As I’m doing research to purchase another travel rod I came across this these reviews. I did notify St Croix about the broken rod, but was told that since I didn’t register the rod, they can not honor the warranty. Foul on my part for not registering, also foul on their part for making a weak rod. - 2 stars are for communication. Yes they responded, but took awhile to get a response."
"Bought a travel rod. On maybe the third time I used it, the second section from the handle snapped while reeling in a 2 pound fish. I reached out to customer service and got zero response Save your money"
"I bought two of these for my wife and I and they both broke in the same place on the 2nd smallest segment. I have used them maybe 5 times for light trout fishing. If it had just been one, I would have thought maybe I was just unlucky or too rough with it. Clearly this is a manufacturing issue and I have completely lost faith in this company."
"Rod broke on first use. $175 rod requiring $60 payment by consumer for business to honor warranty. My experience with a St. Croix rod did not even approach expectations."
"BOUGHT 2 TSR66MHF4 RODS SECOND NORTH PIKE CAUGHT ON THE ONE ROD BROKE IN TWO PLACES WE LANDED THE FISH AND ALL THE BROKEN PARTS. WAS IN THE NORTH WEST TERRITORY FLOAT PLANE HAD TO BORROW A ROD THE OTHER ROD CAUGHT 105 FISH I WAS AWESOME TRIP ROD NOT SO MUCH ."
"My son got this rod from his godfather for his birthday and he couldn’t have been more excited. The rod had one 10†bass to its name first time out before the tip snapped hauling in a ball of weeds, nothing crazy and way less than a respectable fish would’ve done to a medium-heavy rod. Now I have to pay half the price of a new one to get the tip fixed? I have several SC fly rods, eyecons and a new walleye tournament that have all performed great over years of heavy use, this rod was a serious disappointment."
"Top two pieces of the travel rod are stuck together. It’s been months. Defeats the whole purpose of my purchase. Had the OG triumph and loved that. But this is disappointing"
"This is my first fishing rod since I was a kid. I just got addicted to fishing & this rod is keeping me out in the river to enjoy this obsession. I’ll probably purchase another rod in the future. High quality; just as I expected!"
"Very poor customer service. I corresponded with St Croix several times about a broken rod connection and have had no response. I expected some interaction and satisfaction from their warrantee statement; but nothing!"
