Scientists. Those guys want to take credit for everything. Well, while they're sitting around patting themselves on the back about ibuprofen, we'll keep making the world a better place by developing new rods. Like the Mojo Surf rods. Built from premium SC2 graphite, these bad boys are topped off with specialized, weight-saving surf guides with zirconium ring that sends casts off into the stratosphere. High-performance surf rods at a great value for folks who put it all on the line.

This is an awesome rod for the money. you get a 2 piece with 1 piece feel. light weight and casts great. really well made. If you're going to buy one rod,I highly recommend the Mojo Surf for everyday surf fishing.

It's good
May 5, 2015
I've used this rod for over a year now, and I do like it a lot. I mostly use it as my bait fishing stick, but have used it for heavier plugs, and metal as well when the surf is rough, and casting distance is a factor. It casts the range good enough, but gets a little soft towards the higher end of the rating... I've thrown 8oz on it before, but I wouldn't lean into the cast as I'd do with lighter loads on there.... That's not really a negative as the baits weight does put it slightly over the rods stated rating. A couole things I didn't like was the fact that purchased the rod as new, used it, and later found the bottom, and top section to have different serial numbers on them, making the great warranty this company offers useless. The different numbers lead me to believe that the rod I recieved may of been a return, a factory mix up, or one of the refurbished rods they sell at a discount. Another thing I noticed was that the reel seat was a little loose, and that it did seem to loosen up on its own even when tightened down before heading out. I have a penn ssv7500, and when a big fish is on, I can feel the reel flexing in the hoods of the reel seat, and that is not a good feeling at all. I ended up having to use hockey tape for added support and security.
ProsOne piece feel with a 70/30 split. Throws the range adequately with Plenty of backbone to pull big fish out of heavy current, and rips.
ConsReel seat loosens up... Seems to hold some reels better than others.

Not as quality as it should be.
June 25, 2019
At this point I have had 3 10'6 mojos and all three have imploded themselves throwing well within the weight range. The first two st croix said there was a manufacturing mistake and they were defective but now two days ago the third rod EXPLODED throwing a 3oz pencil at the CCC. I do not recommend this rod spend the extra money and get a higher end rod or a different brand entirely.
ProsWhen it works it fishes well and catches fish
Conswhen it doesnt, it tends to exploded on itself.

May 17, 2019
This has been my go to surf rod for years. It truly can do everything but its kind of a jack of all trades and master od none. You can work absolutely and lure or plug well, but not as well as a custom design or specialty rod is capable of. That being said, on a budget, go for this rod. Also throwing 4 oz. with this rod is very unrealistic and so is 3/4 oz. 1.5-2 is the sweet spot and the real rating should be 1-2.5oz.
Prosprice, versatility
Consunrealistic lure weights

1 Answer
A rod that can be used for both surf and boat are hard to come by a 7 foot length is great for a boat but anything really longer like the 8 foot is just to long but would be a good choice for the surf. A 7'6" length rod will probably be your best all around length something in a mh-fast action.

I would recommend using a 70/30 split mainly because when loading the rod and fighting a fish the bend in the rod is not going to bend within the handle like other rods do.

I just received my first mojo and ordered another. The question I have may seem silly but, the first guide nearest the reel, should it be large as with other surf rods. This seems small liking it to a casting rod guide.
1 Answer
Many newer generation surf rods are using much smaller guides than older surf rods. The reason for this is that the majority of surf fisherman are now using braided lines that are much smaller in diameter, therefore the oversized initial guide is not necessary.

The Plano 4254 Guide Series Rod/Reel Case was designed to hold two 2-piece rods with reels attached (up to 6'6"). A detachable, padded shoulder strap makes this case easy to take on any fishing trip! Is it good for rod MSS90MMF2 and VS200 ? valentain.watersotter@gmail.com
1 Answer
Yes, this case can easily handle the Mojo surf and the VS200. The Mojo Surf 9' breaks down into a 6' and 3' lengths. So when it is broken down into two pieces it is still short enough to fit in the Plano 4254 case.

Hows the casting distance on this rod? Which plug would you say it throws best, a 2oz or 3oz?
1 Answer
The casting distance of the Mojo series is phenomenal thanks to the easy load of the rod paired with their low rider guides. If I were looking for a rod longer than 10' and was going to be throwing closer to 3oz's more often than 2oz's I would go with the "SCR-1029" MSS106MHMF2. If 10' was long enough than I would choose the "SCR-1027" MSS100MMF2.
