Love this casting rod. 7’1” medium, fast action is my go to… i own 6 Bass X rods, spinning and casting. Feels light and good action.

I bought the moderate 7'2 MH version of this rod as my first real "cranking" rod for crankbaits, swimbaits, etc. This was my first rod that cost over $100 and I would say it was worth it based on my early impressions. Casting even with the cheap reel and 12lb fluoro I have on this setup is phenomenal. It loads up nice and I've landed the couple bass I've hooked with it so far. Time will tell on durability, but I'm very happy with my purchase so far.

I got this rod a couple weeks ago as an upgrade for my MH. I have been very happy with it. Sensitivity is great feels like decent backbone.

On second Rod as the tip just snapped a 2lb Bass. It was only two weeks old. So far only caught two small Bass (<2lb) no issues. Return/Exchange was easy. The tips are very sensitive so be careful setting your hook. And pulling the fish in, net is highly recommended for those above 2lb fish.

This rod does the job and at a good price. So far it hasn’t snapped like others I purchased .

Bought the extra fast action and is very stiff, handle is long and has a nice feel to it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have 4 of these rods in different actions. You can’t beat the action and liteness of the rod for the cost.

I have 2 St Croix Bass X rods (1 spinning, 1 casting), so my experience isn't isolated, this is a known issue across the BassX line with lack of quality and poor builds. Blanks - Tips are lacking strength and durability. Both tips have broken 1-3 inches down due to no fault or atypical misuse of my own. I treat them like every other rod I own, across various price points and these are the only one's that have ever broken within 1 year due to normal wear and tear. Very fragile. Guides - surprisingly for this price they are cheap and wore quickly... for this price point vs competitor brands, and given the St Croix name I'd expect more Handle / Reel Seat - Reel seat came apart soon after purchase, had to glue it back myself ALSO - their customer support and warranty is a joke. I filed a warrantly claim weeks ago and still nothing from them. And even if you do want to get a new rod, they charge you $60, which is not a great deal for replacing a piece of junk that should be replaced for free (maybe shipping, I would be okay with that). I would strongly recommend to save your money and do not buy any of the Bass X line of St Croix rods.

I bought this for my son's 17th birthday. He was thrilled and said it was the most amazing thing he's ever owned!!!
