St Croix MojoSurf or Legend, some thoughts please?

[buckethead]

I have been thinking about buying the St Croix Mojo 10'6", around $240.
The Legend is around $440. I have heard a lot of good things about the Mojo for the price. The Legend as well. I will be plugging the beaches and looking for a spring and fall use rod.

I wondered if anyone had any experience or feedback. If you have one, what do you like about the rod. Dislike? Are the guides and action on the Legend really better, worth $200 more? Thanks guys.

i wish they made a 9.6 mojo surf but the 10.6 that i have works 3.5 oz. pencil with no problem at all

I think the Legend has the alconite guides.
If you fish in all kind of conditions it might be worth the coin. I have a few friends who bought the Mojo, and they seem pretty happy with it.

If you are going to spend that kind of money, then why not go for a custom rod. You get the blank you want, the guides you want, it's made to your measurements, it's wrapped the colors you want, it's balanced, and you end up with more guides than factory to avoid breakage. For 300-400 you can have the rod of your dreams.

If you go on Surfcasters Journal Lou Caruso has some vids on the testing he did w/ the mojo and once on youtube if you click on all vids by surfcasters journal they have tested the legend also.Personally if I were looking at the legend and $400 plus I'd be calling Fin or Doublerunner as Cardoc said for that money maybe more it can be built to your specs matched to your reel and you will be getting much more for the money vs. a factory rod.The Mojo is designed by St. Croix and manufactured in Mexico and has a 5 yr. warranty while the legend is manufactured in Park Fall by St. Croix and has a lifetime limited warranty.
