St. Croix TIS76MHF Tidemaster Inshore Spinning Rod

Love the 8' versions to do it all. Set at a price point that makes it easy to get into a premium rod. Pretty tough guides!

My father in law has a tide master. Uses it for anything inshore and nearshore at wrecks. He loves it. Medium light action.

Very happy with st Croix spinning rods. Blanks are stable excellent action with enough strength for that big fish

I love the Tidewater series! Not only are they affordable but they are great inshore rods. I have 3 of them and use them for stripers, blues, albies, blackfish and other bottom fishing species. To me they are the perfect all around inshore rod.

Fantastic light rod for casting small lures, using it often for sight casting to flats feeders and couldn't be happier. Light to carry, casts very well and plenty of backbone for larger fish.

Very high quality. I compared this rod to St Croix Avid inshore models and decided I liked Tidemaster better. Light weight and has a nice soft action, compared to my St Croix 7' MH Premier.

Paired this with regular shimano Stradic, 15# fins windtamer, 25 # leader and throw jerkbaits up into Georgia marsh grass and crush the reds. 7 foot 6 inch mh fast. Too heavy for the light jigs I throw for trout but perfect for a big weighted jerk bait. I have also used it with a weighted popping cork. It has a little too stiff action for my liking for the popping cork. Medium fast would probably work better for my style.

I have three of these rods primarily for casting for schooling stripers and shallow water casting. I've caught small perch to 23" stripers with this rod. It's a tough rod and has great sensitivity.

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.

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.
