    Default New rod (s) day


    I received my St Croix 6’ 2wt. Mojo Trout rod yesterday, and my St Croix 6’ 2wt Imperial arrived this morning.
    I’m sure some of you are wondering why I bought both ?
    Well , to begin with , I couldn’t decide between the two . And this a certain retailer had a $25 off coupon code off $150 or more order and it pushed me into ordering the Mojo Trout .
    Knowing I’d never find a deal like this .
    Wouldn’t you know it , a couple days later , same retailer has a one day sale of 15% off sitewide and free shipping .

    Yep , couldn’t resist.
    There was a shipping hiccup that held up the Mojo Trout and it arrived three days late , just beating out the Imperial.
    The wiggle test tells me , these may be true 2wt rods . Strung up , a tug on the line puts a sweet bend in the rods , almost full length .
    These are going to be perfect rods chasing green sunfish or maybe a stocker trout , if I can ever get a chance to make that two hour drive north of here .
    Both rods weigh in at 2.2 oz and paired with a Redington 2/3 Zero reel @ 2.7oz gives me a combo at just under 5oz .
    The ultralight rod creates a minor problem with most of their weight in the grip and handle . The combo with line balances right at the reel . I’d like it to be an inch or so forward .
    Not sure I’ll notice it fishing , but I don’t think anyone makes a lighter reel .
    I’ll be featuring these two in some post in the near future . Along with pictures .

    Me too, can’t wait to hear of how they do for you. Enjoy, I was given a bunch of varivas line a little while back and I ordered a President XT in 20 size to try some of it out on. Now I’m waiting too.

    No doubt shipped USPS…They really stink! That said, looking forward to the reviews. Hope you enjoy them both!!
