I’m in the market for a budget rod. Wondering if any of you Croix guys know or have noticed if the action of a BassX is faster than the Triumph series. I am a big fan if the multispecies action of St. Croix rods. Wanted to make sure the BassX, while marketed to bass anglers, isnt too drastically different. 

F on a Bass x should be the same as a Triumph, however the MOJO line is also on clearance if you swing a few more $ it's a more sensitive rod.

I'd echo the previous model Mojo recommendation - grab what you can now...some places have them for $100...which is less than a Bass-X.

It's pretty much the same. 

I agree that the actions are the same. The triumphs are a bit softer in power in my experience, maybe a half power less.

I don't have any BassX rods to compare, mainly because I always thought they felt cheap in the hand and don't like the feel of the handles. They just feel like cheap plastic to me.

 

I agree with others above,.... that if you are looking for a budget St Croix rod, grab one of the Mojo rods being clearanced out. No brainer in my opinion, the Mojo is a nicer rod than the BassX, and probably cheaper right now, I saw them at Cabelas for $119.

I would second this, the Mojo Bass is a far superior rod if you can swing it or find a deal.
