Has anyone gotten to handle one of these rods? From what I have read and seen it sounds like St. Croix really stepped up this rod and the materials they use, including the scIII graphite.

They appear to be Purple Rages with Cork. and $20-30 cheaper than the Rage.  I think that they'll do very well. 

Sc III is a great blank material. Worth a look for sure.

I have handled them.   Well balanced and good looking.   They will be a hit.  Cork and SCIII in a $120 rod.   True contender for best in that price range category.

My buddy got one this summer, with lews tourny mb and it was nice!

I just picked up one of the new ones, I actually went to BPS with my mind set on the avidx 6'8 MXF casting and I ended up leaving with the Mojo of the same specs. Besides to obvious with the guides and reel seat, I could t feel a difference at all. It feel nice light and well balanced with a 100 size reel. I can't wait to use it tomorrow morning...
