Works as expected. More backbone than the freshwater version, which is nice for trolling pike. St Croix quality. Reel seat not Fuji, but seems to be of good quality.

Have multiple St Croix rods that I take out on my kayak but this one has quickly become my go to rod for most everything. Casts great and has backbone to land large reds and even 3’ sharks!

Really like this rod. Has great action and backbone

I bought this rod for the wife and I liked it so much I had to buy another one for myself. Great Inshore Rod!!

Great rod especially for the price. Great "heavy light" rod. I have 2 now.

I have it paired with a shimano CI4 4000. Great balance and great feel. caught several speckled trout handled them great.

Soy fanatico de la pesca, esta vara de pesca es lo maximo, deseo pescar en la Luna felicito a sus creadores por su excelencia, una verdadera obra de arte Gracias Tackle Ustedes como vendedores son la empresa mejor de mundo Gracias

This is a great rod for inshore fishing at a reasonable price.

I purchased the 7'6 Medium on 11/26/2020 and its now almost 9 months and I've had zero issues with it. It has handled fish of all sizes and the sensitivity is amazing. Great for both live bait and lures.

Little stiffer than anticipated.

this is one of th good ones. its great for my app. spec. trout fishing, Its good for soft bait fishing and strong enough to use for hard bait lures.

This is a new model for St. Croix, but having owned many, I thought I'd set my wife up with a new rig. Very impressed with quality of this rod for the price point. Great fit and finish with nice cork, real seat and quality guides. Really like the longer handle on it. Lots of back bone, but seems to be more sensitive than my older Premiers. Paired with a Spheros 4000. We look forward to catching more New England stripers on it!

Feels good when you cast it out caught alot of great fish with it!

Feels great a will hold up

This thing feels beefy. The big one has a nice reel seat that easily holds reels bigger than 3000's. Feels nice with the 150 (@12oz+ with full spool). It's a nice rod, to step into St. Croix. It's nicer than any combo rod you're going to buy, and if it ever breaks, you can always take advantage of St. Croix's gold star upgrade to get into a little nicer rod for not much money. So fish the heck out of it.

If you're new to Florida inshore/landbased saltwater fishing (and want to start with 1 rod), do yourself a favor and start with a 7' medium rod. It'll fit in your car (hopefully) and can throw soft plastics, live bait and even some smaller/lighter plugs.

If you can do 2 rods a medium light and a medium heavy rod will allow you to go after a wider variety of species in more situations (think flats, boat, land, jetty/pier).

These rods seem to have a pretty fast action (a lot of the St. Croix line up is known for that).
