The st croix mojo is not a 300 dollar rod..... maybe 150..... it's basically one of their bottom entry level rods.....probably made in china.... same as the lews or 13 that you ordered. If you want a better rod with a really good warranty I would look at Dobyns champion line and up. I personally use Kistler, Shimano and Irod but I believe dobyns has one of the best warranties.
