St. Croix usually makes rods that are more tournament-grade or for professionals, but with their Bass X rod, they brought all their technology and expertise into a budget rod that excels in versatility. As Pete mentions, this rod has a fast action that works well for lots of baits and St. Croix also included their SCII blank material, which is usually used in their higher-end rods and makes the rod extremely light, while also maintaining its sensitivity.
