Introduction

When it comes to bass fishing, having the right gear can make all the difference in the world. St Croix has completely redesigned one of their best selling rod line ups: The Mojo Bass. The St Croix Mojo Bass Trigon new to 2023 has a all new look and feel. The Trigon handle truly fits perfectly in the hand being ergonomic, allowing you to fish all day with no fatigue. In this comprehensive review, we will take a closer look at the key features of this rod, focusing on the SCIII Carbon fiber blank, the handle design and the wide selection of available models.

Rod Construction

Ergonomic Trigon Design

St Croix has reengineered the Mojo Bass with the angler in mind and used science to create the most ergonomic feel possible. St Croix designers have exhaustively researched the most anthropometric design giving Mojo Bass Trigon users an exceptional fishing experience while reducing fatigue.

SCIII Carbon Fiber Blank

The foundation of the St Croix Mojo Bass Trigon Spinning rod lies in its SCIII Carbon fiber blank. This high-quality material ensures a perfect balance of strength, sensitivity, and flexibility. The SCIII Carbon fiber blank is known for its exceptional performance, making it an ideal choice for bass anglers seeking a reliable and durable rod.

Guides

The guides of a fishing rod play a crucial role in casting and retrieving, and the Mojo Bass Trigon doesn’t disappoint. The primary ring material used is aluminum oxide with the guide frame being titanium. Aluminum oxide guides contribute to smooth line flow, reducing friction during casts. Meanwhile, the titanium frame enhance durability, ensuring the rod can withstand the rigors of bass fishing.

Reel Seat

The reel seat is a critical component of any fishing rod, and St Croix has innovatively crafted the Mojo Bass Trigon reel seat. The primary material used in the reel seat construction is nylon, providing a lightweight yet sturdy foundation. This ensures that the rod remains easy to handle without compromising on strength. The primary nut material is nylon, further contributing to the rod’s lightweight design, while the secondary nut material is machined aluminum, adding an extra layer of durability.

My Plans

This combo will be used for finesse applications like hair jigs, spybaits, and ned rigs. I have at least two more models I plan on grabbing this off season; JOC73HMF Flip-Chat-Crank and the JOC70HF Dock Sniper as these rods will make a great addition in my arsenal.
