Within a years use I had to warranty 4 rods. Rods were cared for exceptionally well. They broke on both hook sets and during fish on right above the upper half joint eyelet in the exact same spot. St. Croix didn't have an answer other than \"user error\" according to the guy on the phone every time I called. We used the rods back trolling on anchor with a jet diver on a line slider paired with a spin n glo and salmon roe. 5000 series Penn reels with a loose drag. I can understand one breaking.....but 4 is a trend and the rods broke in all different people's hands. Our local tackle store where purchased also had 8-10 of these come back to the store as well that broke in the exact same spot. The local Alaska St. Croix rep has identified that these rods do indeed have a defect. I eventually got all the warranty upper halves back and rid myself of all the rods as they are not trustworthy. I have had zero issues with my 1 piece 7' Triumph spinning rods, I own 8 of these and they are terrific!

I have had it for a few years and took this rod out for the first time this past Saturday. Go figure right... It was on a long 13.5mi drift from the launch site to the drop point (talk about long especially for this time of the year). Lost all day light by the time we got back to the drop point. I caught 3 really nice trout (2x rainbows, and 1 beautiful porker of a cutthroat), a 9lb gorgeous silver native Coho (released) and a 7lb hatchery Coho (dinner!). Nice way to break-in a rod in right? I had mounted a Shimano Nasci FB 5000 with braid and a 15lb leader (throwing 1/2oz-3/4oz spinners, did a nice job too). The 9lb Coho put up a good fight but the 7lb Coho started pulling drag then took off in high gear really making the drag really scream (and I thought I had it set too high too). The rod was nicely doubled over while dragging the drift pontoon around the river for a bit!!! So, what do I like about the rod? EVERYTHING!!! The cork grips are easy to handle when wet (it rained) and cold. The rod loads very well when casting lures (or floats). The soft tip loads nicely when casting. Perhaps its a bit too soft for drift fishing, maybe maybe not... Is there anything I don't like? Wish it were a little longer, say 9'6\" would be nice.
