St.Croix are the best rods for the money.
I haven't had any more or less issues regarding the rods breaking compared to less expensive rods - so I'm not sure I agree with Sam on that observation - but he might be right - I just haven't seen them to be any more fragile compared to cheaper sticks.
The good news is that good quality rods have good quality warranties and St.Croix will exchange your rod with zero questions asked - even if you do something stupid like I did .... lol.
I do agree with Sam that going a "bit heavier" is the way to go like a med/heavy for casting or trolling for pike without sacrificing sensitivity for walleye jigging either.
