I decided to finally upgrade from my $40 rod and got the Premier 7' medium power, fast action, 2 piece rod. I've only been able to use the rod a couple time, but just from those two days on the water I can tell that I'm gonna have a lot of fun fishing with it in the future. It's very light (a little tip heavy), has quality components, and doesn't break the bank. I was a little worried about the lure rating as it was only rated up to 5/8 oz (18 grams), but I casted 3/4 oz (21 grams) lures no problem with it. I paired it with a Shimano Sedina FJ 3000 and use it for Pike, Bass and Walleye fishing. Very excited to use my first St. Croix rod!

After filing and paying for the warranty program the service department reached out to me. I appreciated them following up. I have a new rod in hand and hopefully will have it for years to come.

Bought a premier series spinning rod for Canada trip. It broke about 18" down from tip on first day. I was able to land some fish prior to that, but it broke under normal use and had me pretty confused over it for a while. Tried 2 times for warranty on website with absolutely no reply. After some months, I have decided to bite the bullet and pay $60.00 for the "Excellerator" program. Not happy, but we'll see what happens.

The Best rods!

I own 6 of these rods and I love every one of them. Can’t go wrong with st croix premier
