St Croix for life
"Strength of the rod allows me to lift med\small size bass in the boat. Tried this with a similar graphite rod from a different mfg, rod broke. Retailer refused refund/replacement claimed I stepped on rod, pffft."
This was a gift for
"This was a gift for my father and it actually made him tear up. Great pole! ,"
"Another nce rod i do believe that between the premier and the Blacck Bass series the premier has a softer action but both are rated MHF"
I use St. Croix Premiers
"I use St. Croix Premiers as my guest rods while guiding smallmouth trips on the New River in WV. The updated model is lighter, faster, and less tip heavy than previous generations. I love my Avids and Legends, but there's nothing I need a rod to do that a Premier can't handle. Add in the fact that they're made in the USA and it's a no brainer!"
Rod snapped in half
"I was trying to retrieve a snag and working it with my wrist. The rod snapped about 14 inches from the handle, with 4lb berkley trilene. I couldn't believe what happened. I bought this premier 5' rod about 6 years ago. It replaced a 4'6" model i had used for 22 years, I lost that rod on a kayaking trip. I'm lead to believe the quality of craftsmanship has dwindled in the past decade or so. . . It's a shame."
I love the 2026 updates
"I love the 2026 updates to the Premiers! GREAT rods."
