Reviews

I originally ordered 2 and

"I originally ordered 2 and when I received them I was so happy that I ordered a 3rd one. I was just recently finishing with them and they out performed my expectations. I am very happy with the purchase. On the other hand. The rod covers that I bought were junk. I was expecting them to have your logo on them. I'm proud to be using your rods and want people to see. Secondly they didn't fit my rods. They didn't fit over the eyes and instead of taking the time to return them, I threw them away. The poles are the best, the covers failed in a big way. Unfortunately I'll have to buy a different brand with their name on them."

Premier PS70MF

"My cousin got me this rod 10 years ago and my dog broke an eye/guide on it. I was able to get the eye fixed, but I figured I buy the exact same rod. The replacement rods weight, sensitivity and strength was an absolute upgrade. I decided to matched this rod with the Abu Garcia Revo Rocket 30 Spinning Reel and they're a perfect match for each other. I couldn't have picked a better rod, now I have two of the same rods the fit my fishing needs. I say it was an absolute score. Joe A"

Great rod I have several

Broken Tip on both rods

"I used the SCPC70MHF for less than a year before the rod broke about 14" from the tip. I thought it was a fluke since St Croix is known for making great rods. They replaced the rod and less than a year later the same thing happened when I set the hook in a walleye. I called customer service and asked about others having the same issue with the rods breaking. They denied that there were any other issues, however, after reading other reviews, I am now seeing that this is a common occurrence. I don't know what happened at St. Croix, but the quality of rods they are producing is nothing like it was 20-30 years ago."

Great rod for my customers

"Great rod for my customers I take fishing. Have been using them for 15 plus years."

— Scott B. (5/5)

Broken top Section x2

"Used the Priemer PS66MHF2 rod for walleye and Pike fishing and broke the top section on 2 separate occasions of less then 20 days of total use. 1st time was casting (1/4 oz jig) from a boat and top section just above the guide broke, paid the $60 and got a replacement. Second break was retrieving a Northern Pike approximately 6lbs from behind the boat and the replacement top section broke in the same location. This should be considered a manufactured defect that St Croix should fix at there cost and not mine. $60 for each warranty fee x2 this rod now costs (initial cost) $280 +60 +60 = $400 = too much for an unreliable fishing rod, I upgraded to hopefully a better rod, Time will tell. I DO NOT recommend this line of rods. I have lots of Eyecon rods and I love them just not fond of paying fees for company R&D."

I ordered this rod using

"I ordered this rod using the same numbers from my old rod. They are completely different rods. My old rod was stiffer and has a much faster action. This rod is a wet noodle. I’m very disappointed that I can’t replace my older rod."
