Fishing rod challenge, can we break a St. Croix Mojo rod? The St. Croix Mojo fishing rod is probably one of the most underrated rods on the market, with a meager $120 retail value it's worth every penny. Watch Chris and myself test the boundaries of this rod by attempting a fishing rod break test by lifting heavy objects. Objects that include: A kayak anchor, leaf blower, dumbbells, chainsaw, wagon and a 60lb block. The rod is pushed to its limits until it ultimately implodes, breaking at the fore grip and the rod tip. This is the same rod I used to create my safety pin rod tip hack and you can see that it held up to all the abuse. This particular rod was the 7'6" medium fast inshore rod, a great choice for everything from snook, redfish, trout, flounder and bass. Buy the rods here:

Great video. I've got a mojo rod on the way and this video is making me feel even better about my purchase. Looking forward to using it!

@DvjLuna 4 года назад

7:38 That is proof that you should not high stick a fish when fighting a fish...NOW 60 lbs vs a med. St Croix.... No need to tell you who is going to win that argument. NOW in all seriousness I use St. Croix rods and truely love the quality that goes into the manufacturing of these rods.

Greetings my friend, I would like a recommendation from you that you are an excellent fisherman and I follow all your videos. I would like to buy a reed for fishing for sea bass, tarpon and Jack crevalle. I really like the st croinx mojo. You think that would be good for fishing. I want from shore and in marglares.Gracias I wait for your answer

@Saltyscales 7 лет назад

Hello Larry, the Mojo with a Penn battle or Shimano 4000 will work great for what you want to target. Might need to step it up a little for larger tarpon however.

@johnstrand2247 5 лет назад

I believe they get brittle in the sun. My St Croix Mojo Bass seemed fine for a few months but then just folded over like a melted candle while trolling a crank. When it breaks, you must find your own long shipping tube and spend money to ship the thing back because the stores don't want any part of the garbage they are selling.

@noujaiyang1513 4 года назад

In my opinion testing these rod out like this is probably a lot different then pulling a fishing in in the water. So for an example, lifting 20 pound dead weight on the rod is like fighting a 40 pound fish in the water. So videos like these actually prove how strong a rod truly is.

@johnstrand2247 5 лет назад

Have you purchased one lately? When I was describing how my two St Croix rods broke, the store clerk says he hears it all the time and that is why the stores will not ship modern rods back for you. It's not just that brand either. The quest for lighter more sensitive rods has destroyed any reliability. I was told I would have to pay shipping both ways although I wouldn't even know if they would replace it until I spent the first $20 to ship it. Why would I want to throw away even more money on a rod that I would have zero confidence in?
