Unboxing, Testing, and Reviewing the St. Croix Mojo Bass 

It's a great rod. I actually prefer it to my St. Croix Victory in the same model.

Thanks for the information. I agree that 10 pound mono will be harder to cast than 4 pound fluro which is on my ultralight. I was comparing the casting distance of this rod (and reel) to my other medium power rods (and similar reels) that also have 10 pound mono using the same lure on both set ups. After using this rod and reel for over a month now I've gotten used to it, but it still doesn't cast the same lures as far as my previous medium power rod with a 2500 reel and 10 pound mono. I actually spoke with a rod builder last week about this. What he said made a lot of sense. More guides help with casting up until a certain point and then they hinder the cast. He didn't know what the sweet spot was and now looking back I'm not sure if the 8 guides are causing the shorter casts, but it was just my first impression.

I still have it. It's great. I still think it's a little too strong and too powerful for your general bass, but it gets the job done. You're not going to enjoy fighting 1 or 2 pound fish, but it's perfect for 3-5 pounders. I don't use it as much anymore since I got a Victory rod which I like better, and I would recommend spending the extra $40 and picking that one up. I have a video on it as well.

I think this rod, the 7'1" MF is a great rod for bass and northern pike. You shouldn't have a problem there. I do think it'll be a little too strong for trout though. Honestly in my opinion no single rod would be good for those four species. You should probably look at two separate rods.

@@TheFishingNomad what’s a good action and strength for trout? And I thought for pike it should be heavier like mh fast

The 3/4 shad might be a little too big for this rod, but should still be doable. At the top end it's rated for lures 5/8 of an ounce, slightly smaller that 3/4. I think it would be perfect for a 1/2 jerkbait. The one I used in this video was 1/4 and although it worked well, I realized it was a little on the light side. I think both this rod and a slightly stronger rod will be fine for your applications, just depends on if you want to fish in a more finesse way or a more power way.

I'm only use "heavy" bait, b.m or softjerk of 3/8 to 3/4. Jerk and darter of 3/8 to 5/8. Casting jig of 5/8. I know stcroix blanc is american, so more powerfull, but maybe i have to choise the powerfull model (3/4). Still in doubt:D

St Croix rods in my opinion are definitely stronger and more powerful than other makers. I don't know how you like to fish, but from what you've said I think you would like a MH rod more than a M.

@@TheFishingNomad sick bro I subscribed to the channel, and I ordered one of these rods can’t wait to get my hands on it

After using it for several weeks now I've gotta say I still love this rod. However, I still find it too stiff and strong for using soft plastics. I caught a 4+ pound peacock bass on it and the fight was nonexistent. I ordered a ML Avid X for smaller presentations. I'm hoping that rod can fill in where this rod falls behind.
