New St. Croix Mojo Bass TRIGON selected by the sportfishing industry as Best New Freshwater Rod at ICAST 2023
Advancing and showcasing its mission to handcraft the Best Rods on Earth® that give all anglers the upper hand, St. Croix Rod of Park Falls, Wisconsin unveiled eight completely reengineered or expanded rod series at ICAST 2023 in Orlando last week. New-for-2024 product introductions include the new Mojo Bass and Mojo Bass Glass TRIGON Series, reimagined Avid Series, upgraded Avid Inshore Series, all-new Connect Series fly rods, improved Bass X Series, all-new Panfish Ice Combos, expanded Onchor Salmon & Steelhead Series, and the extended Legend Tournament Pike Series.
Best New Freshwater Rod
The International Convention of Allied Sportfishing Trades’ (ICAST) New Product Showcase Awards recognize the best new fishing products in multiple categories each year. Voted on by attending product buyers and members of the sportfishing media, these “Best of Category” awards represent the pinnacle of achievement in the fishing tackle industry and are fiercely competitive.
St. Croix Rod was awarded top honors last Wednesday evening in the Freshwater Rod category of the ICAST 2023 New Product Showcase Awards for the new Mojo Bass Series, which features St. Croix’s proprietary TRIGON handle and Dynamix reel seat.
“St. Croix offers our congratulations to the companies who earned honors in the other categories of this year’s highly competitive ICAST New Product Showcase Awards,” says St. Croix Brand Manager, Ryan Teach. “Winning one of these awards takes innovative ideas, dedication, investment, hard work, and execution on behalf of the anglers who ultimately benefit. We’re humbled and honored that the industry professionals who make a living selling or reporting on fishing tackle selected Mojo Bass TRIGON as the best new freshwater rod amidst a packed category. Everyone in the St. Croix family feels great pride and a real sense of gratitude for this recognition, but this award is really for our anglers – anglers who will feel as much satisfaction and pride in using one of these incredible new rods as we feel in making them.”
Mojo Bass TRIGON Available August 1
Mojo Bass TRIGON is a comprehensive bass-rod series built on a proven, high-performance platform that pushes limits and sets new standards in angler control and comfort with new, science-based ergonomic advancements. The all-new assortment includes 34 lengths, powers, and actions – 25 casting and 9 spinning – to support all of today’s bass-fishing techniques with radically improved performance from exhaustively researched anthropometric design.
TRIGON’s design is based on actual anthropometric data of the human hand. “Our unique TRIGON handle recognizes that the human hand does not form a circle when closed. It conforms to the angler instead of the angler having to conform to the rod,” says Teach. “TRIGON features a curved, triangular profile with a rounded inner apex and a flattened top curve. The results are a more comfortable grip so anglers can fish longer while exercising increased control to maximize power and accuracy.
