Great all around rod!
August 13, 2021
Picked one up last year, never had such a quality rod. Use for freshwater bass in the Northeast. Caught some great fish on it, throwing spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, texas rigs, swimjigs, even drop shots. Super sensitive, but super strong. Dragged some big ones out the weeds with it. Great all-around rod.
Pros
  • very versatile for bank fishing
Cons
  • none

What isn’t there to say about a St. Croix rod? I own the 8 footer MH I use for tarpon on the beach. It’s light strong and durable. Ive had it for 12 yrs. and it’s still going strong. Better yet, its a st croix and backed by their legendary warranty and customer support. If you don’t know about how these guys back their rods, look it up. Best in the business. Most of their higher end models are made right here in the USA also. What more do you want?

My 4th St. Croix and it performs exactly as you'd want. Light and sensitive w/ enough backbone for larger redfish.

Paied this rod with a 4000 stratic for inshore fishing and it is a great combo. Good for trout, rockfish, flounder, puppy drum, and sheepshead. Rod is sensitive enough to feel the bite and plenty of backbone to bring in the big one!

My father in law has a tide master. Uses it for anything inshore and nearshore at wrecks. He loves it. Medium light action.

Great inshore rods

I love the Tidewater series! Not only are they affordable but they are great inshore rods. I have 3 of them and use them for stripers, blues, albies, blackfish and other bottom fishing species. To me they are the perfect all around inshore rod.

Fantastic light rod for casting small lures, using it often for sight casting to flats feeders and couldn't be happier. Light to carry, casts very well and plenty of backbone for larger fish.

Good all around inshore rod
March 16, 2019
Very high quality. I compared this rod to St Croix Avid inshore models and decided I liked Tidemaster better. Light weight and has a nice soft action, compared to my St Croix 7' MH Premier.
Pros
  • USA product
Cons
  • 8 foot rods can be a little hard to transport

St Croix tidemaster

Paired this with regular shimano Stradic, 15# fins windtamer, 25 # leader and throw jerkbaits up into Georgia marsh grass and crush the reds. 7 foot 6 inch mh fast. Too heavy for the light jigs I throw for trout but perfect for a big weighted jerk bait. I have also used it with a weighted popping cork. It has a little too stiff action for my liking for the popping cork. Medium fast would probably work better for my style.

Fantastic light rod

I have three of these rods primarily for casting for schooling stripers and shallow water casting. I've caught small perch to 23" stripers with this rod. It's a tough rod and has great sensitivity.
Pros
  • I don't have to worry about a broken tip while hooking up with a 10 or 15 lb striper.
Cons
  • Expensive. I've found some custom rods for less money but I am not sure if they are as good.

Best rods

I use these for inshore Reds, Flounder and anything else that may bite. I also throw them at a pond across the street from my house for bass when I can’t get out in the saltwater. Probably won’t ever buy anything other than the Tidemaster again.
Pros
  • Quality is awesome
  • Top Company with great warranty
  • Amazing feel while fishing it
Cons
  • None

Bought this rod to pair with my Saragosa 8000, awesome feel to it, tough as you need to be but never sacrificing the sensitvity.
