Any body use St. Criox rods? Although they are a bit on the pricey side they seem to have a level of sensitivity that you can't find in other rods. They are doing a rebate now, buy one get one free, for those interested...
 
Are they worth the extra money compared to, for example, Bass Pro's store brand rods?
 
The one's I've felt are great and worth paying the extra scratch, especially if its buy one get one free... Sign me up...
 
Most spinning rods in our household are St.Croix. Great rods at normal price so buy one get one would be difficult to pass on.
 
?? Only rebate I could find was buy 2 rods for at least 300.00 and get a Rage model free(up to 200.00).

Where do I find the BOGO?

I was going off of the word of a friend, I saw the rebate for the first time this evening. Still it's a hell of a deal.
 
I agree it IS a good deal... just more cash than I have. I was hoping to luck into a couple of great rods! :)

Tax time sucks :(

I use the St. Croix Mojo rods and love them, for the price (~$100) I don't think they can be beat - slowly converting my arsenal to all match.
 
They are good rods if you like the style and the feel. I have been looking at Bass Pro's Micro-lite series with interest. I need a back up rod for light to ultralight trout fishing.

That's my lightweight setup, matched to a Spyrex 1000RG. Haven't used it enough to have a strong opinion, and I've never used a St. Croix to compare. The Bass Pro MicroLite is on sale now, making it half the price of the cheapest St. Croix.
 
They are very nice rods, well-built and sensitive. I've got 2 spinning rods and an ice fishing rod by St Croix. BOGO sounds like a great deal.
 
I got a bunch of them. I'm lucky enough to visit their factory from time to time.
 
I have several and the oldest spinning rod I have by then is about 25 years old. I really like it and an eight footer I've had for about 12 years I use at the river to catch big cats with a diawia 50h spooled with 30 mono. It will hunk 3-4 ounces about 80 yards plus in to the mighty Mississippi as needed and land some bruiser cats with ease. St. Croix used to build some really great rods. Don't know about the new stuff they are turning out. Have not bought one in about 10 years. The newer stuff I have gone Loomis.
 
I'm cheap... there I said it.
:)
After much research and soul searching I sprang for a Mojo.
10'6" 3/4-4 ounce spinning rod. Paired with a Spheros 4000 or 6000.
I figured they are so poplular, if it didn't live up to the hype, I could get most of my money back.

When I first took it out I was amazed.
Light, sensitive and threw unweighted 9" sluggos up to 3oz needlefish plugs with ease.
It was a rough week at the beach and didn't catch anything remarkable, but the rod impressed.

Now I want a casting rod around the same size :)
 
Decent rods however the shimano crucial rod or anything they have at that level or higher will outperform and has a lifetime warranty...for the dollar spent I'm still looking for a better value in a spinning rod, this of course is just my opinion...
 
I'm considering a St Croix three or four piece Premier Travel Spinning Rod for backpacking, anyone tried one before?

My buddy had two of the 4 piece travel rods, and they are pretty Nice. the one thing is that a 4 piece rod will have added weight over. Two or one piece rod usually. I still would not trade them for my Powell rods though.
