I must say that I was skeptical at first about the new, St. Croix Mojo Surf Rods. These are radical in design like no other rods on the market. The most striking change in the guides. The spinning rods features lightweight guides with a high sloping frame and small zirconium rings. It is all m

It works like a charm and casts terrific.My rod is a one piece eight footer and it weighs a mere 8.8 oz. It has just the right stiffness to haul out plugs up to 2 oz. using my VS 200 reel with 30 lb. test Power Pro braided line.

It's moderate price (list at $170) makes it one of the best bargains for rods on the market these days.
