Watch out. I am a retired pastor and may be a heathen, drunk, degenerate, too. You never know. You have to be pretty audacious to be a pastor. Claiming your words about the Word is unsettled territory since no one less than Reinhold Niebuhr affirms that religious pride is the highest and most dangerous form of sin. The question is, would either of us lie about fishing rods? Maybe about fish we have caught. But fishing rods? We live on the edge as is. That might put us over the line into very tenuous territory. If he says it, I believe it, though. Of course, having had similar good fortune with St. Croix rods makes it easier.

I don’t doubt the words or sentiments.
Can’t help the irony of a pastor and a rod name saint. Marketing at St. Croix hasn’t taken advantage of the christian values in us yet. Go forth my son and catch fish with a new St. Croix Mojo Bass rod. If you want the Lord on you boat fish St. Croix. Thankfully it is a line that corporations haven’t crossed.
Nor will they if the reports of the current quality of saints matches the quality of too many priests and clergy in our Me Too Age. I always wondered about the vow if chastity. Guess it was a fake vow.
Generally, the higher the sensitivity of the rod the more they tend to snap. With that said, being a walleye fisherman I always go with high sensitivity blanks. I have broken only 2 since I can remember. Both broke to the fault of the hatch lift on my vehicles. 😁

I have never owned a St Croix rod until last spring. I bought 2, and they both broke on me. One setting the hook on a smallmouth, and the other on a sheepshead. Cannot say it was damaged goods, or operator error,Not!, but they replaced both for a single 25.00 charge through the excellerator program.
WERENT YOU AFRAID OF USEING ONE OF THESE RODS AGAIN I WOULD BE
Like rock hound said, that sounds like strange breakage . I only have 1 st croix rod, an avid -x . Never an issue, well made . A friend of mine strictly fishes st. croix and I have never heard him say anything about breakage. I would contact st croix....My 2cents..

Okay. Pastor that likes St. Croix. Have to throw out that endorsement.
I have a couple St. Croix. No issues fish well. I’m heathen, drunk, degenerate. So you can believe me. Ha.
Why would you throw out that endorsement? have something against pastors? or do you think pastors can't fish?
Your a heathen, a drunk, and a degenerate, well we have all those attending our church, so you would feel welcomed there! In fact we don't have any holier than thou people going to our church.
My pastor fishes a lot, has a Lund, not sure what size it is, but it seats 3 people with a live bait well and a live fish well, along with the usual fish finder. He's taken that boat all over Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Canada.

Please lighten up here. Just a light hearted comment that the endorsement for a rod named Saint would be the favorite of a pastor. I have a Catholic Priest down the road from me at the lake also. That doesn’t make any difference. Either what I said was funny to me or some or nobody. If you get offended then that’s your fault. I take no responsibility for that.

Of course you won't take responsibility, no one does that these days, why would I expect you to be any different?

Most pastors do not have to do a vow of chastity, that is why so many are married, Not knowing all the church denominations in the world but the only on that I know of that does the BS chastity crap is the Catholic church.

You know what they say. Rules are meant to be broken. Substitute vows if needed. I grew up Catholic. Retired Catholic now. I can tell lots of stories. Priest won the lottery and all the sudden left the church and was married. Others that had a sister with them all the time.
