In this video, I dive into an important update for bass anglers and St. Croix fans—the release of the new St. Croix Physix rod series. While I haven’t yet fished with the Physix line directly, I’m here to share something incredibly useful if you’re considering a purchase: every review I’ve done of the Legend Tournament Bass casting rods applies directly to the new Physix models—with only a few key differences.

That’s because both the Physix and Legend Tournament Bass lines use the exact same blanks, mandrels, and SC4+ carbon fiber material. They also share the same IACT (Integrated Advanced Composite Technology) models—rods that blend carbon and fiberglass for moderate-action applications like crankbait fishing. If you’re looking for real-world feedback on rod weight, castability, sensitivity, and fish-fighting performance, my DMRVP (Description, Meaning, Relevance, Value, Purpose) reviews of the Legend Tournament line will be a perfect guide to understanding how the Physix rods will perform on the water.

Why My Legend Tournament Bass Reviews Apply to the Physix Series

• Same Carbon Material: Both rod lines are constructed from SC4 carbon fiber, with SC6 reinforcement in key areas—officially designated as SC4+. This delivers high sensitivity, light weight, and increased strength.

• Shared IACT Models: If you’re comparing hybrid glass-carbon rods in either line—such as cranking rods—the models behave exactly the same.

• Same Mandrels and Actions: Medium moderate, medium-heavy fast, or any other power/action rating—they’re identical between both lines.

• Identical Rod Models Across Both Lines: If you see an LBTC72MM rod in the Legend Tournament lineup, the corresponding Physix version will have the exact same action and feel.

What’s different? The rod handles and guide components. Physix rods use updated grips and different guide materials, while Legend Tournament rods use classic cork handles and more traditional components. These cosmetic and comfort-based differences are the only real distinctions. From blank to tip, they are engineered identically.

What This Means for You as a Buyer

If you’re researching the St. Croix Physix rod line, but can’t find many firsthand reviews yet, my detailed Legend Tournament Bass reviews will give you all the performance data you need. From casting light baits, to hooking and managing fish on treble hooks, to long-term durability and balance, everything you see in my Legend Tournament rod breakdowns applies 100% to Physix models of the same specs.

Whether you’re shopping for:

• A medium-power cranking rod

• A finesse topwater or jerkbait rod

• A power fishing setup for shallow cover

• Or just trying to compare rod actions before you buy

You’ll find reliable and transferable insights throughout my existing St. Croix rod reviews.

I will continue reviewing the Legend Tournament line in upcoming videos, especially the IACT cranking models, which I absolutely love and use heavily in fall and winter in Arizona.

Price Comparison

The Physix line appears to cost slightly more per model than the Legend Tournament Bass rods. This is likely due to upgraded guides and grip materials. Performance-wise, however, the rods are built on identical platforms, so any decision between the two lines will likely come down to your personal preference in grip and components—not action or feel.

Conclusion

If you’re shopping for St. Croix Physix rods, and want real-world insights before buying, you can confidently use my Legend Tournament reviews as a reference. These rods share the same backbone, taper, and build—so whether you’re a tournament angler, a weekend bank fisherman, or a gear enthusiast, you’re getting the same fish-catching performance.
