Not impressive. Customer service is big for me.
Three seasons ago I snapped not one, but two surf rods via Pendulum casting. I learned the hard way how much strain the pendulum cast puts on a rod (4 oz singer with bait). In any case, a custom was too much green to lay down on the counter at "my" bait shop back then. So I went with a St. Croix for around $135'ish. Second time out, we are driving trough the narrow streets of Orleans MA when a low hanging tree branch rudely grabbed the tip of my rod and flung the top piece up an over the beach buggy. We search and search...it was now where to be found. One year latter, I call up St. Croix...they shipped me a new rod section at a very, very, reasonable rate. (In fact, the St. Croix rep. was ready to shipped me a whole new rod for half the price if she could not locate me the rod section for my particular model.) I was impressed.
I now have two St. Croix's and most likely will pick up a third.
Why? Great rods. Great customer service.
I say "most likely" because I am looking for 9' 2pc (I second Bass Babe) rod that can handle 1 to 3 oz plugs. I then be be in the 1.5 to 2.75 range most of the time; I am also hoping to have this rod pull double duty and sling eels as well. If anyone one has any suggestions, I welcome PMs.
I know there are other "Great Rods. Great Customer Service" rod companies out there...does anyone else have any stories?
But alas, I am digressing and nearly off topic.
