Well 3rd cast with a new bucktail and off went that lure into the water. My friend just got back his new rod since that other one snapped. Well come to find out the First guide on the end of the rod is completely chipped, like literally looked like someone dug out the top of the guide and chipped it completely. This is unreal, needless to say i doubt he will be getting another st croix rod
what are you guys doing to your rods? I've got 6 St. Croix musky rods, some of which I've been using since 2002, never had a problem, wouldn't fish anything else. The guy I fish with mostly has almost as many… no probs from him either. That doesn't include my two St.croix Salmon rods, and two more bass rods. All excellent and problem free!

I will periodically put a Qtip through my eyelets to make sure they have no cracks or breaks in them. If the cotton comes off then you have a problem. There is a guy in Toledo that replaces the eyelets for $10.
I just had a second one replaced (on the same St. Croix rod) for $6 at a place in Lansing. First it was the third guide down, then the fourth.
