I’m writing this on my second broken mojo rod (warrantied the first). The first rod broke just below the second eye from the top catching 12” Lane snapper in 80’ of water. I thought it was a fluke and, Figured St.Croixs legendary warranty would’ve taken care of me. $50 later (Shocking), The second rod broke on my second 14” trout on my first trip out with it. Absolute junk rods and, to need to pay $50 to get a replacement with the obvious known issues is wild. I grew up fishing St.Croix rods and, I’m disappointed with them after this situation. I would consider an upgrade at this point, but I shouldn’t have to pay a dime, especially after now paying $230 total for two broken rods.

Such a fun, light-weight rod. Paired mine with a Vanford 3k w/15# braid. This was my striped bass schoolie rod , cocktail blues, and more importantly my albie rod. It certainly had the backbone when the albies were ripping line. The tip was a bit on the light side for my use, which eventually broke. But the rod seemed even better. Consider the medium heavy if you don't want that sensitive tip.

This was my second Mojo Inshore rod, purchased from Sunshine Ace Hardware. Unfortunately, within less than 30 days, the first rod mysteriously broke, and I have no idea how it happened. Thankfully, Ace Hardware was kind enough to exchange it for a new one since it was still under 30 days. However, to my dismay, the replacement rod didn’t even last 20 days before it also broke! This has been an incredibly disappointing experience, and I must say, this is the worst rod I’ve ever owned. I am extremely dissatisfied with St. Croix products.

Recently purchased JIS79XHMF from economy tackle in Sarasota fl. I have a bunch of the avid inshore and very pleased with them. But, they were out of stock and I went with the mojo (big mistake) I paired the rod with a slammer dx 4 7500 and 50lb braid. Headed directly to water and drifted crabs back in the pass. First fish my dad hooked snapped the rod at the reel seat sending the new rod and reel into the water still hooked to the tarpon. St croix going to cover the whole setup? If not 25 years of purchasing st. croix rods will come to an end.

Took my 7” mh fast action paired with shimano stradic 3k out to the keys a few years ago and landed a nice bull mahi ~30lbs with a fun fight. I use it constantly for reds trout and even the occasional cat fish. Nothing phases this rod EXCEPT any type of contact to the top foot or so of the rod. I’m on number three over span of 6 years for the same thing every time. The slightest touch of somthing touching the rod and it’s broken. Durable for fishing not for life.
