Can anyone compare or contrast them with all star, batson or lami rods? They are what I have experience with. Gotta love the price on the St. Croix. The only negative I see is seat but I can always have that cut off down the line if it fails.

It's a pretty easy fix. I'd be careful about taping a reel onto that thin shrink wrap.

They're more like All Stars than Lamis. And you'll say good-bye to the Lami "bounce"--the up and down oscillation you get after you release your cast. Mojos recover very quickly. The 3/4 to 5 is similar to an All Star 1266, and the 2-6 is very close to the 1267. The All Stars are just a little faster. I've thrown my 2-6 side by side, with the same reel, as my 1267.

The Mojo blanks are a bit lighter in weight than All Stars, too.

LOL. Completely forgot that it's 2 piece. So used to thinking 1 piece that the guides would need to come off.

Either way I'd probably have a slap on epoxied on. Those seats are great.

I actually bought the 1-4 St. Mojo the other day. It seems a little stouter than the 1266 but I maybe be wrong. I'll post my experience with it after I have a ton of casts and few good fish on it. If I like it I'll probably get the 2-6 for big plugs and maybe some canal jigging. Seems up to that task.
