St. Croix Rods?

[Labman2]

I'm looking at picking up a couple of new rigger rods, I've got the chance of getting the St. Croix S.A.R 1265 at a pretty good price, but haven't had any experience with them, or know of anyone that uses them.
Any of you guys got any Pros/Cons on them?

Loomis has a 1265 SAR not St Croix-not that I can find anyway.

You are correct, I had a list of rods available to me on a Pro deal and I did misquote the company.
Thanks for correcting that for me.

So I've used a Loomis STR 1265C (trigger grip) on the downrigger and it works well-tagged Springs to 38# no problems.

Loomis is great because they are so light-be careful if you have ham handed friends though it's not fibrelgas.

The SAR 1265 BC is the model that was suggested I use in the downriggers, it is supposed to be rated as a heavy/ 20-30lb.

Not a guide rod then?
