St Croix Premier or Fenwick Elite?

Looking for a new rod that will be used for Walleyes mostly. I have a St Croix Premier 28″ Med now, just wondering how this compares to the Fenwick Elite Tech. Both are priced about the same

I have both and like them about the same. The guides on the St. Croix are a little bit not aligned but I looked at my Fenwick wrong and the tip broke.

I would seriously consider a custom rod from Thorne Bros or TUCR.

I have both. Use my Premier more frequently however that’s attributed to the set up (reel/line combo) versus the actual stick itself. I’ve had no performance issues with either stick and would happily fish with either.

X3 – TUCR all the way

Elite techs are on sale for $19 at fleet farm…I may pick one up as a back up rod..

The TUCR rods do look very nice but are more than I want to spend for a walleye rod. I would defiantly consider them when it comes time to replace my panfish rods though. I do a lot more pan fishing than walleye fishing

Try 13 Fishing rods maybe? heard great things about them, going to order my first one right now.

I’m not a fan of St Croix Premier rods. IMO they are all the same rod with different spring bobbers attached to them. I’m a fan of the Mr Walleye rods from Norsemen. Good blanks and very sensitive.

Those are the legend series and i’m not a fan of them either. I do have a couple premiers set up with braid for jigging spoons and they are a good rod for the money. I think they are around $30. My thorne bros walleye sweetheart makes it hard to fish with the st. Croix anymore though!
