Really enjoyed this rod for how light it was, unfortunately after getting done a session I noticed a Crack that goes through the poles joint on the top half of the rod. Never took it to a jetty, dropped or abused it. And it was only out for 6 sessions maybe... maybe I got a lemon but I won't be risking getting the 10'6 ML again

I really love this rod for throwing 3/8 ounce bucktails in the surf for small stripers. It’s got great action and sensitivity and it balances well with my vr50. Highly recommend!

Bought the rod direct from st croix…10’6” 1/2oz -2oz rating…great quality…cast light spoons and lures as well as cut bait using 2oz lead..great action and easy on the back and light..paired with Penn slammer 4500 which makes a great combo..have a 4000 Stradic that would make it lighter yet that I want to try.
I also have several Avid and Mojo surf rods..as well as fresh water rods..very happy with the St Croix rods..

Surf, Back bay, or boat this rod is flexible in its usage!

With the help of a salesperson, I chose this rod to take to Belize. It was perfect for plane travel and handled a dozen big barracudas and various other fish with no difficulty. It’s strong and light.

Got the 9’ med-mod. Exactly what I needed. Loads great with 1 & 2oz lures, 75 and 100+ yards with each lure size, respectively.

Only personal complaint is the foregrip: sure it’s very comfy, but it’s kinda ‘sponge-y’. I’d rather have a full-contact/firm grip like a shrink tube. Very minor thing to worry about though.

Best surf rod I own and best rod overall I've fished with. I've had a 50lb fish on this rod no problem. Deffinitly A?+++. Buy once cry once.

I own a few surf rods ranging from Tsunami, Dark Matter, G loomis, etc. This St Croix Seage is probably my favorite so far. I love the Medium Light action. I can cast Jigs to lures to cover Fluke to Stripers for all season action. This a great rod!

I am loving this rod! It casts super easily for such a large rod. It casts noticeably farther than my other surf rods, even when using lighter baits. This rod is considerably more expensive than my other surf rods, but I can see why! You get what you pay for with St. Croix. It's super lightweight but has backbone. I was working spooks and jerkbaits in the New Jersey surf all weekend with almost no fatigue. I highly recommend this rod!
