Looking for a new drop shot rod and have never had a St. Croix so I'm looking at the Triumph 7ft. Medium Light/Fast spinning rod, anybody have anything to say about it good or bad?

I have a 6'6" ML Spinning Rod and like it a lot. It's very versatile and I've caught a lot of fish with it.

I had one several years back and loved it, right up until i accidentally slammed in my storm door. Nice rod for the money.

Can’t go wrong with St. Croix. I have never been disappointed with their product. I have a 2 piece Triumph rod for traveling fishing trips for years. Rock solid tough and sensitive.

The only thing that bothers me is looking at the reel seat it looks like your fingers will be holding onto threads...that would be uncomfortable. 

The Reign rods are 2 for $100 today or $69 with a reel.  Basically a triumph with foam grip.
