A little bit whippy
February 5, 2022
For my liking this rod (70MM) is a little bit too whippy. But for trout and panfish fishing with tiny cranks and spoons it is a good rod.
Quality is very high, like all St. Croix rods. Best rods on earth! For sure.

St Croix made it again

I am a St croix fan and the tidemaster series is a good buy. Very sensitive tips and enough back bone for the inshore fishes. And the warranty from St Croix is well known. Really recommend tidemaster series to everyone! Entry level St Croix rod and made in USA as well!

Great Rod for Inshore Fishing

I purchased two of the TIC76MF rods. They have the backbone required for solid hook set in big slot reds and a soft enough tip to not pull the hook from a speckled trouts paper mouth. Stop thinking and by it before they are gone!

Big fan of St. Croix rods. Tide master is light and love the full cork. Can’t stand split grip or eva foam. The warranty is great too.can’t go wrong with St. Croix rods

Great Rods

This is my 6th tidemaster and they are awesome rods. Paired a 7'6"H with an accurate tern300 for inshore bottom fishing. Feels like its going to be a perfect match for flounder, seabass, tog, and other bottom dwellers.

This St Croix tidemaster is one of the finest and best feeling inshore rods I have used in a while the craftsmanship is unsurpassed, although it is mainly used for red fish it is not being used to it's full potential.
Pros
- Unsurpassed Quality, Very sensitive, great balance, great deal and looks like a Ferrari !
Cons
- None, but would be nice to have in a 2 piece

Best Inshore rod!

7ft casting rod works well from my kayak for stripers. Paired it with a Abu C4 5601. Great combo. Rod sensitivity is awesome and handle length is perfect.

Never disappointed
September 8, 2018
The Tidemaster is my favorite rod. The TIC66MHF didn't let me down. First day fished......stripers didn't have a chance. Perfect for my use from a kayak tossing plastics on jig heads. Quality is exceptional and rod was flawless in performance and cosmetically.
Pros
- Reasonable price for what you get in quality. Feels great in your hand with very responsive action.
Cons
- None..............

Go to Kayak Rod
March 11, 2018
I use the 3/4-2 rated rod as my go to kayak rod, i have it in both spinning and casting. I am primarily targeting bottom fish but on the occasion blues or stripers get in the mix this has the power to handle them as well. I have this paired with an abu 6500.
Pros
- light, strong and durable
