WHAT IS IT?
St. Croix GRX Crush Combos
WHAT SETS IT APART?
The GXR Crush series offers casting and spinning options. The 7-foot medium power, fast action rods are built on St. Croix SCII carbon fiber blanks with Fortified Resin System (FRS) technology. They include stainless-steel guides with aluminum oxide rings, premium-grade cork split-grip handles with premium EVA butt caps and nylon reel seat and nut. The reels (7.3:1 casting, 5.1:1 spinning) are built with sturdy, lightweight composite bodies and durable carbon fiber drag washers. The casting reel has six bearings, while the spinning reel has eight.
HOW DO I USE IT?
The latest collaborations between St. Croix Rods and SEVIIN Reels were designed and created with a straightforward premise: To help the next generation of bass fishing standouts level up their game. Blending the quality and performance for which St. Croix Rod and SEVIIN Reels are well known with eye-catching aesthetics, the GXR Crush Combos deliver a premium rod-and-reel package that equips the angler without breaking the budget. Add to this a five-year rod warranty and a one-year reel warranty and these new combos bring a lot to the table.

ANGLER’S INSIGHT:
While St. Croix and SEVIIN are targeting the young, up-and-comers with the GXR Crush combos, the convenience of expertly matched rods and reels should appeal to a broad range of anglers. Everyone takes up the sport at different points on their timeline and gearing up always requires a budget assessment. From the casual to the competitive, expenditures typically increase with interest. St. Croix made a smart move by providing an affordable entry point for anglers of any age that may very well graduate to the brand’s upper levels.
