St croix is one of my favorite rod companies and when the time came that I needed to get an inshore rod, I was confident that this rod would get the job done. I paired this with a Stradic fm 3k and it’s an absolute dream for blues, schoolies and little tunny around cape cod. The fast action makes it able to cast anything from horizontal jigs to light plugs with immense accuracy and the 7.6’s medium power is perfect when needing to throw lighter baits in freshwater without compromising casting distances. This graphite rod looks amazing with completely carbon guides. However it does scratch really easily so definitely don’t leave it on a rock and maybe even take your watch off when fishing it. Overall I use this thing almost every day and once you hook a fish, it’s a feeling unlike any other, the cutting edge technology even in simple things such as its grip makes this rod worth every penny. Whether I catch something or reel in every cast without a hit, as long as I’m using this baby, the trip was successful.

Of my 10 rod/reel combo…… this rod beats every other one I own. Wind Buster, Steez AGS, Poisin Adrena, Lamiglas, NRX…etc. The feel and sensitivity is unmatched. I have mine paired with a Daiwa Exist 3000. Life is good, even when fish aren’t biting it’s a pure joy to own.

I have the Medium 7’ and it is definitely a heavier power than most mediums, also much faster. I would say this rod can throw baits like a medium but sets hood like a medium heavy. I just wish they made the casting model in medium as well. I have 2 of them paired with Stella 2500s as my tournament set up for the 2022 redfish season. St Croix, make a medium casting version!
