Q&A
This is where most anglers get their first taste of St. Croix quality. The St. Croix® Premier® Series Trigger Rod is an affordable series, but the quick, precise tapers, lightweight SCII graphite blanks, and aluminum oxide guides ensure that each rod will handle like a custom stick. Advanced IPC Integrated Poly Curve® technology eliminates "dead zones" in the blank; you'll find the casts uniformly crisp and clean, and the actions finely tuned. Fitted with genuine Fuji® graphite reel seats and select-grade cork handles for supreme sensitivity and easy handling. And now they're even lighter, faster and stronger than ever! Made in USA.

Great quality. Love St. Croix RodsBasic Information
The 6’6”, medium heavy, fast action St. Croix Premier Series casting rod is amazing for bass fishing and very versatile compared to other rods on the market. It is a great starter rod or if you have fished for years. Anybody can use this rod no matter if you’re young, a man, or a woman. The St. Croix rod fits into any size of hand for a man or woman with small or big hands. This rod can be used for soft plastic worms, spinner baits, and chatter baits. With the shorter style rod, it lets you pin point certain spots to cast at woody areas or along a grass line. The premier series rod is a little on the expensive side, but you will not be disappointed if you buy it.
Durability/Quality
*It is very light in your hands even if you have a heavier reel on it.
*Flexible tip which allows the fish to take the bait easier and get a better hook set.
*Rod has a cork handle, so if it gets wet it will dry faster than a foam handle and also very comfortable.
* The eyelets on the rod are strong and can withstand heavier line than what the pole actually says.
*If you carry it in a case to travel different places it will not break. If you’re not careful something may happen to the base or the tip of the rod because those are the weak points.
*The lure holder comes in a weird spot which affects you carrying it because you could get a hook in your hand if you’re not careful.
Final Thoughts
St. Croix makes great quality rods, especially the premier series. This type of rod is really only used for bass fishing, but it can also be used for trolling behind a boat for walleye, northern pike, and musky. Since it’s a shorter and lighter rod it’s mainly for bass fishing. This rod will not disappoint you. A man or woman that loves to bass fish will love this in their arsenal of rods

Avoid St. CroixAfter decades of using cheaper rods, I upgraded both my casting rod and spinning rod to St, Croix. The spinning rod tip snapped during my first use. That tip was replaced under warranty. Now my casting rod tip snapped in half. Called St. Croix and new tip is no longer available for my casting rod. Customer Service is terrible ... I'm understably upset about my experience with my St. Croix rods, but they don't want to listen to my complaints and hung up on me. I have NEVER broken a rod until I "upgraded" to St. Croix. Would not recommend & will not buy anything from St. Croix again.

A VERY Satisfied and REAL CustomerI had been looking for a short (5'-51/2" foot) medium action casting rod to pair up with a Zebco Pro 33 Spin Cast reel and six pound test flouro that I had purchased. All my rods (5) are St. Croix Premier and am very satisfied with the quality and how they perform so I ordered the 5'6" medium action trigger rod. Took the new setup out bass fishing to see how it would do. Hooked into a 19" Largemouth in early spring milfoil and Lilly pads. The shorter medium action rod kept the bass from diving into the weeds and breaking off. Nice backbone on this rod. The rod and reel balances level on my finger at the face of the reel so I assume this is a well matched setup. Very pleased with the purchase.

6' one piece medium action all around rodI have the 6' one piece Premier casting rod and have been using it for 3 years now as an all around rod for bass and pike. It's been used as a spinner bait, top water, crank, worm, and jig rod with great success. It's very strong and has a great casting action that loads up nicely with 1/4 - 3/4oz lures. It's very sensitive and has a nice light feel to it, but still has plenty of power when fighting fish.
I like the shorter length which has a slightly shorter back grip because I mostly use it in a canoe. Very long back grips get in the way in canoes and kayaks. I think it's a very well made rod with classic styling. St Croix make my favorite casting rods.

Great purchaseThis is a great rod, I really love the feel and action out of the rod. One my first trip with it I caught a 28" pike and it held up great against the fish.

Total size with butt retracted?
How long is the 7'6" L rod with the butt retracted?
Asked by: UltraLightBass
The rod will be a total of 7'6" L. The Retracted Butt part will go into the handle for travling, so it will fit into your car.
