St. Croix TIS66HM Tidemaster Inshore Spinning Rod

Bought this rod to pair with my Saragosa 8000, awesome feel to it, tough as you need to be but never sacrificing the sensitvity.

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.

Great rod only wish I bought one sooner. Liked it so much I got a second one. Paired up with a stradic. Sick stripper rig.

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.

GREAT ROD FOR INSHORE STRIPER FISHING

Cant expect nothing less than excellent product from St Croix. Great backbone, strong guides and made in USA. Great value for the money. Can't go wrong with this rod.

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!

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!

Ive broken every st croix Ive ever owned, I had the 3 piece tidemaster for travel and I broke it 2x. The single piece rods are probably stronger, but I wouldnt buy another one

Only used in freshwater for bass fishing but great sensitivity and plenty of backbone for driving hooks through tube bodies.

Great rod with plenty backbone, balances well with my saragossa 8k

St. Croix rod is great!I buy all my tackle from tackle direct,from my van staal to lamiglas rods.great products fast service. Always thanks again

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.

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.

Bought TIS70HF for plugging sod banks for stripers and bluefish. No stripers yet but a few nice bluefish. It Replaced a similar older Premier rod that was stolen. This rod casts 3/4 to 1.5 oz lures and has good backbone for handling bigger fish. It has heavier action and is much stiffer than the new premier 7' heàvy action. I am very happy with the tidemaster.

Very good for catching Blue Fish and Sea Bass, very light and powerful. I use it with a Shimano Stella 5000 and it matches well. I like this rod a lot.

Very strong, light and it's an awesome rod. I have caught trophy stripers, monster blues and fluke with this rod. Paired with a Penn SSV4500 and loaded with 20b braid and this combo will catch anything you encounter.

St Croix Tidemasters are the best in the business for light tackle spinning and trolling along the east coast. I've purchased numerous Tidemaster spinning and conventional rods for use on the Chesapeake, the Inland Waterway in Northern Florida, and off the coast of Delaware, New Jersey and Maryland. Have caught stripers up to 25 pounds, weakfish to 5 pounds, fluke to 4 pounds, red drum to 20 pounds and have even landed multiple 75+ pound cownose rays. I use my seven and eight foot Tidemasters for all light tackle trolling, topwater, jigging and spinning needs. Plus St Croix has an exchange program which is superb and their warranties are the best in the business.

I bought this rod for both jigging for fluke and throwing poppers at stripers off the boat and under bridges. It has performed great, love the grip, weight, and feel of this rod!

I have this rod paired up with a quantum-cabo spinning reel (size 40) and the pair works great. The rod is super light weight and has a great backbone. Battling fish with this real is fun. You feel the fight of the fish and have the confidence that the rod can take whatever the fish dishes. I liked it so much I got a second. Strongly recommend!

This rod is used to sling a cork or throw a lure inshore saltwater fishing. It is my second rod just like it and they are GREAT!

I would put these rods against any of the higher end rod manufacturers (Lamiglas, G Loomis). Great action and backbone. Highly recommended.
