You have done the St. Croix outfit a marvelous gesture. I'll definitely look at their offerings by mid March. I bet I'm not the only one on here who feels the same way.

St. Croix is my favorite. I have had similar satisfactory results with replacements on 4 broken rods over the years. The only rod I had to wait on was one they were waiting a couple of weeks to do another reproduction run for that particular model (one of their upper end rods that likely isn't produced as often as others) and they had none in current inventory (but they communicated to me that would be the case).

Made in USA and great service. I have 9 St. Croix rods going back 30 years. The only issues (broken rods) I ever had were situations that were caused by the user (me)!

Performance (and warranty) worth the price in my opinion!

Thanks Papa for supporting American business.

Some of the rods are made in Mexico

You're right Purple Haze. I read sometime ago 80% of the blanks are made in Mexico. The higher grade rods at that time are made in USA. I have 2 triumph rods. Lower tier rods but I like em. Triumph has a decent warranty

The lower end rods are made in Mexico (part of North America).

From the Premier line on up, they are ALL made in Park Falls, WI (USA).

Regardless of which model you choose, they are a great rod at the price point considering their warranty and performance.

FYI - In my opinion, their AVID line is a tough rod to beat for quality /price and has a 15 year warranty made in the USA!

Rock Hound the article I read indicated just the blanks are made in Mexico . The rods are finished in the the US. My St Croix triumph rods are lowest level but man they feel good. Have a7'6" med-lite n a 7' medium. Both spinning.an on getting a 7' med baitcaster this spring. πŸ‘

After talking to Ivey about tight lining I started looking for the 7'6 med lite saw the triumph went to local sportsmen warehouse n they had one in stock. $116 with tax. Liked it as soon as I picked it up. Later I went to local privately owned gun shop I've been going to probably around 40 yrs now. Bought the 7'med from him. Don't need another rod but I will get the baitcaster. Reward points on my capital one card will all but pay for it at bass pro. πŸ‘
