Fishermen who enjoy the light-weight, responsive action, and value of St. Croix Mojo rods have options that can carry them through the entire season, from springtime on the ponds to fall on the tuna grounds.
Bass Crankin’ – Mojo Bass Glass
Postspawn bass will strike a variety of lures, but they have a particular affinity for hard-thumping crankbaits and Chatterbaits, from cover-kicking squarebills, weed-tickling lipless cranks, and bottom-scrounging deep-divers. And to fish these baits, glass rods have long been the favorite of serious bass anglers.
The best glass rods offer a sweet moderate action that cushions strikes on a moving bait, while keeping the fish securely pinned, but older-model glass rods were heavy and lacked sensitivity when compared to graphite. To bring glass bass rods into the 2020s, the Mojo Bass Glass series rods feature gradual, consistent tapers, and uniform wall thickness from tip to butt, which makes these moderate-action 100-percent linear S-glass blanks smoother, stronger, lighter, and more sensitive than the glass rods of the past.
The new Mojo Bass Glass series includes five rods—four casting models and one spinning rod—covering a wide range of technique-specific applications. Anglers will find specially designed models suited to target cranking, chatterbaits and rattlebaits, multi-purpose crankbait fishing, as well as a model designed specifically for plus-sized crankbaits.
Backwater Action– Mojo Inshore
The return of stripers to the backwaters, brings light-tackle action back to the salt. As spring turns to summer, they’re joined by bluefish, weakfish, fluke, and even hickory shad. To cast the small jigs, swimmers, and topwaters to fool these fish, anglers need a lightweight rod that casts well, brings lures to life, and makes sport of backwater scrappers.
The St. Croix Mojo Inshore Series has 15 models of one-piece spinning and casting rods for any backwater situation. Anglers have a choice in actions from fast rods for walking topwaters to moderate actions for jigging fluke.
Mojo Inshore rods feature premium-grade cork handles and hard aluminum-oxide guides with corrosion-resistant black frames. They’re built for long casts, lightweight sensitivity, exceptional power, and durability for back-bay fun during the summer—and albie madness come fall.
Stealth and Stripers – Mojo Yak
As the stripers settle in, the kayak can be the perfect was to target them. Stealthy kayakers can target the stripers out of range of surfcasters, and in too shallow for boaters. But in order to secure a ticket for a Nantucket Sleigh Ride, anglers need the right rod for the job.
The Mojo Yak Series rods feature shortened, split-grip handles that make it easier to cast and fight fish from the tight, low confines of a kayak. Custom Winn grips provide a comfortable, tacky grip in any conditions. Lengths, powers and actions are all carefully conceived for kayak anglers, with 7’ and 7’6” lengths that facilitate fighting fish around the bow, while also allowing for longer casts when sitting or standing.
Cow Stripers and Gator Blues – Mojo Salt and Mojo Jig
No summer is complete without an arm-burning battle against a big, angry striper. And while “one that got away” stories are great, deep-down every angler prefers the stories with a happier ending.
To help win those battles, the St. Croix Mojo saltwater rods deliver strong, durable, lightweight performance for heavyweight fish, and actions perfect for trolling, live bait, or jigging.
Mojo Salt Rods
Consisting of 11 conventional models and six spinning models, ranging from 6’6” to 8’ in length with medium to heavy powers and moderate-fast to fast actions, Mojo Salt rods are well-suited for a live-lining bunker, trolling deep-divers and mojo rigs, and three-waying live eels. Mojo Salt Series rods feature high-performance blanks crafted to produce a lightweight, durable boat rod.
Mojo Jig Rods
When big stripers find schools of sand eels, there’s no more fun, or productive, way to target them than by vertical jigging. Mojo Jig Series rods are available in four conventional models and four spinning models to help anglers bring their diamond jigs to life. These medium to extra-heavy power, moderate-fast action have hook-setting and run-stopping power, even in deep water.
The Summer Surf
Depending on your lattitide, summertime surf fishing could mean anything from soaking worms for kingfish, hopping jigs for fluke, or swimming plugs for stripers. The ten spinning rods and four casting rods in the Mojo Surf series, range in length from 7 to 12 feet and power from medium light to heavy, meaning there’s a model for any surf-fishing scenario you’ll encounter in the Northeast.
Mojo Surf rods feature specialized, weight-saving surf guides, ergonomic black-hooded reel seats with black hoods, and custom X-Wrap handles for comfort, durability and a great look. The offset ferrules on two-piece models provide one-piece feel and performance.
