Best rods
I use these for inshore Reds, Flounder and anything else that may bite. I also throw them at a pond across the street from my house for bass when I can’t get out in the saltwater. Probably won’t ever buy anything other than the Tidemaster again.
ProsQuality is awesome
Top Company with great warranty
Amazing feel while fishing it

This is the second Tidemaster I've purchased for fishing in New Jersey. I originally purchase the 7' and wanted a beefier rod for spring striper. Pleased with this purchase.

Go to Kayak Rod
I use the 3/4-2 rated rod as my go to kayak rod, i have it in both spinning and conventional. I am primarily targeting bottom fish but on the occasion blues or stripers get in the mix this has the power to handle them as well.
ProsLight, strong and durable.

Awesome!
I'm a St.Croix guy, so I'm a little biased towards their products, but the tidemaster series is perfect for all inshore fishing applications! I use them from my kayak for stripers and blues out east in New York and CT and it handles well across the board!
ProsGreat movement and sensibility
Conswill break easily if you don't tale care of it well!

St Croix TIS70MHF Inshore Spinning Rod
This is my first St. Croix rod & very impressed. Light weight, well balanced, great sensitivity. I teamed it up with my Penn Spinfisher V SSV4500LL and absolutely love the combo!
Will be buying more St Croix in future!

great middle of the road rod
Bought this rod for my wife, paired with a shimano stradic 3000fj. Great combo for jetty and bay fishing. Tidemaster seem to be good choice rod for under $200. Never have issues with St Croix rods and think they offer a dramatic selection for anything you're fishing for.
Proslight, cast well

My go to rod
I love this rod. It's my workhorse,I have it paired up with a VS VM150 loaded with 30lb braid. I have landed Fluke to 9lbs with it and it has the backbone to stand up much larger fish....hopefully it sees some striper action soon.
ProsAmerican made
Fast tip
Comfortable grip
ConsNone
