What specific models are you guys using? I’ve been considering the Triumph series for its durability claims.

I have the Triumph and it has withstood a lot! Just make sure you wash it off after saltwater use. That’s crucial for longevity.

St. Croix rods are generally well-built, but I once had a guide break unexpectedly. Their warranty service was fast and sorted it out quickly!

24

That’s good to hear! A solid warranty can really make a difference when you’re investing in quality gear.

25

I’ve had to repair a couple of my rods over the years due to accidents, and St. Croix parts are easy to find, which is a plus!

26

Would you say the materials used contribute to repairability? I want a rod that not only lasts but can also be fixed easily if something goes wrong.

Absolutely! Many people have mentioned how easy it is to replace guides and tips on St. Croix rods.

I’ve fished in downpours with mine, and it held up well. Just a bit slippery, but that’s expected with wet conditions!

Haha, so it’s not an Olympic figure skater then! Good to know it can handle the wet stuff.

I think the durability of these rods really is hit or miss, depending on usage. I’ve seen some broken under less stress than expected.

32

That’s concerning! Maybe it boils down to individual rods or luck? Sometimes you just get a lemon.

33

You make a good point. I guess every brand has its issues. Overall, I think St. Croix is worth considering for their reputation.
