Testing and Reviewing the St. Croix Panfish Series
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 авг 2021
- I've curious for a while about what the St. Croix Panfish Series is like and how it compares to some other St. Croix ultralight rods. I decided to pull the trigger and ordered myself the 5'0" ultralight version. After a day on the water the verdict is in and I have to say that I really love the rod. It is a true ultralight that throws 1/64oz and 1/32oz jig heads very well. While it is a moderate action, it can still jig these smaller jig heads very well. Overall, it seems like a very nice rod that seems well worth the pricetag.

Looking forward to introducing my nephew to fishing with this rod. Hoping its ultralight action makes even the smallest fish lots of fun!
This rod definitely makes fighting smaller fish a lot of fun. Hope he likes it.
Great vid. I'm new to the freshwater fishing. Pretty nice how you pointed out how balanced it is. 👍
Thank you. Glad you liked it.
Cool upload👍🏻
Rod looks like a blast to fish. How do you think a modern 500 sized reel would work on that 5’? Maybe a nasci. Thinking of that setup for a “true” UL rig on the kayak.
I think something small like that would work great. I have fished 1000 reels on this and it's perfect.
Big ups ,,great
Thank you.
What type of fishing line are you using is a mono or fluorocarbon
It's fluorocarbon, 4 pound Berkeley Vanish. Link to all equipment is in the description.
What lip gripper are you using?
Generic Bass Pro Shops brand one. I think it was like $7 by the registers in the store.
How was the reel seat? Do the threads bother you?
Reel seat is very nice. I was worried about two things, first the threads and also the very thick/fat upper portion. The threads don't bother me at all. I think it's because they are very small and very few of them actually make contact with my palm. The upper portion of the seat is also very pleasant to hold. Can't really explain it any better, but it just feels good in hand.
@@TheFishingNomad New version is coming this November.
@@mandogfish7418 Yup I saw that. If I remember correctly it doesn't have any cork and all foam which is a downer for me. I am curious though how the rod itself will perform. I'll probably end up getting it anyway.
How well do you think a new model Pflueger Supreme 25 would pair with this for bream?
I know absolutely nothing about Pfliegers. If 25 is the equivalent of 2500 in Daiwa and Shimano language, I think it would be slightly too larger/heavy. I'd stick to something in the 1000 or 2000 size range (or their Pflueger equivalent).
@@TheFishingNomad kinda what I was thinking 🙁
Look it up though, it would look great on this rod
@@TheFishingNomad thank you for the response btw!
@@TheFishingNomad trying to think of something else that might visually pair up as well as functionally. Maybe the PENN Battle?
@@J92-11B I've gotta be honest and say I don't know as much about reels as I do rods. I would recommend the channel i_fish on here, he does a lot of great reviews on everything ultralight. He hasn't steered me wrong yet. Here's a link to his most recent ultralight reel guide.

How do you get a 110.00 rod for 40.00 ? What is the accounting trick ?
$60 off when you get a Bass Pro Shops credit card.
@@TheFishingNomad
Aah. Thank you for video. I have the St Croix Panfish that I use with trout magnet 1/64 jigs and 1 inch gulp minnows. I find it the tip a little “ whippy “ for the plastic trout magnet bodies. I use the BnM TCB rod for trout magnet jigs and bodies. Please consider a video testing the BnM TCB rod, made in collaboration with Leland lures for use with their Trout Magnets.
Thanks Again
Got that model in 6 foot fast tip. Throws 1/64 oz. a long way and a1/80 oz. 25 feet
It's a solid rod. Real fun to fish.
Wish they’d talk about the med light rods
I'm not sure what you mean. Do you wish St. Croix made ML rods in the Panfish Series?
Just scored one of these at a garage sale for $10 !!!!
Nice. Can't beat that.
How did you get it for 40$?! 😮
Opened a Bass Pro Shops credit card which gave me $60 off of my first purchase.
U know ur stuff....u should work in the fishing rod field....
Thank you, but I still have a lot to learn. Trying to get better each day.
Heck at $40 should have bought 3
Haha definitely. Unfortunately it was just one at this price.
So you did some “accounting tricks” and bought it for 50% less then the original cost LOL…….you gotta teach me that one.
Lol just signed up for a Bass Pro Shops credit card and got a $60 signup bonus. This is a little off topic but in the past I've churned credit cards and bank accounts and made up to $2000 per year doing it.
your FICO score must be low@@TheFishingNomad
@@paulbunyun-xi9by It's good. Just checked it. It's 783. You must not know how a FICO score is calculated.
i do, mines 849 almost perfect with no credit cards, just thinking flipping credits cards would make the bank have a look at what is going on
thanks for the insult@@TheFishingNomad
It's not a bad rod. Leland TCB, Dobyns Sierra and TFO trout and panfish are better rods though.
Unfortunately I haven't had an opportunity to fish those. Ive heard good things about them though.
