St. Croix® Premier® Series Crankbait Rods

This is where most anglers get their first taste of St. Croix® quality. The Premier® is an affordable series, but the quick, precise tapers, lightweight SCII graphite blanks, and aluminum oxide guides ensure that each rod will handle like a custom stick. Advanced IPC Integrated Poly Curve® technology eliminates "dead zones" in the blank; you'll find the casts uniformly crisp and clean, and the actions finely tuned. Fitted with genuine Fuji® graphite reel seats and select-grade cork handles for supreme sensitivity and easy handling. And now they're even lighter, faster and stronger than ever! Made in USA.Action:M = MediumMH = Medium HeavyH = Heavy

Best performing and highest value, April 8, 2009
By Klintrock from Naperville

"I have variety of crankbait rods running a baitcaster on it and this is outstanding. I really like how throws a half ounce, it loads wonderfully and tosses a mile with no effort. I am supremely confident in how it also allows accuracy. The construction is built such that is has great reinforcement down towards the grip so man handling big bass is very easy. Recommend it over many others at twice the price. I have also had to lift out big bass that I was afraid would break it and it held with no issues. I broke another St Croix spinning rod and their customer service is also fabulous."

This Fish, That Rod

"If you are a club angler, looking to start "upgrading" some of your rods... This rod is a good introduction to what St Corix is all abour - excellence. BE CAREFUL - if you're like me, you'll love this rod so much, that you trade in your $60 rods for $220 St Croix Legend Tournament Rods :)"

Premier PC70MH2, February 17, 2008
By BakerBoy from Ayton, Ontario. Canada

"Have used this rod for 10+ years Jigging 40+lb.Lake Trout in Canadian Arctic. Great Slave Lake. Un-believeable reliability and longevity. I have no doubt I have caught hundreds of big fish,20+lbs. on this rod with out fail,or problem. I own 7 other St.Croix rods covering all species I fish for. As a Fishing/Hunting Lodge owner in Quebec,Canada I highly recommend all there products."

Premier Crankbait Rod, October 17, 2007
By Raincloud36 from High Point, N.C.

"I recently purchased my first Pemier crankbait rod and it is everything I expected and more. It's light, casts small crankbaits like a rocket and is just plain fun to fish with. I also own 6 other St. Croix Premier and Avid rods and love them all."

Great performance in a mid-range rod!, June 26, 2007
By FishON from Cleveland, OH

"Just over a year ago, I purchased a St. Croix Premier 7’ PC70MHM rod; liked it so much, bought another for spinning (PS70MLF). I’ve found these quality rods to have great backbone, very good sensitivity for the money, and plan to buy another soon.

Aside from bassin’, I've gotten hung up in brush and had more than a couple bad casts to timber (which unfortunately, weren’t the kind that hold fish)— either pulling free or snapping line, these rods have been tried and remained true. For added piece of mind, each came with a five-year warranty (less the cost of shipping to factory), should I ever find my one-piece rod in two.

Best Bassin Rods I've ever owned, February 21, 2007
By fishinmaniacinmo

"Croix are the best rods Ive owned in 25+yrs of fishing. My favorite is the Premier 7ft heavy power/moderate action which excels at almost every technique of bassin; spinnerbaits,crankbaits,plastics,flipping & pitching cover...but my favorite has to be froggin on top of vegetation with it. Fun to fish with & the sensitivity and powerful hooksets give you confidence. Spend a little more for these rods- you wont regret it.

Great Rod at a Great Price, July 5, 2006
By JEAKES from Kentucky Lake, KY

"This is the perfect entry level rod for those looking to take a step up. The action is great and they are very sensitive and tough.

Once you buy your first one, you won't turn back to those rods you find at the local mega-mart.
