Anyone know what is going on for sure? This would mean Legend Muskie and Avids blanks moving to Mexico.

My understanding is the sc 4 and sc 5 remain being built here, like the had been. Mojo and down in Mexico like they had been, plus blanks built for OTHER companies in the sc4 sc5 will now be made in Mexico only difference

Side note they may be replacing the sc3 in mojo with the 4 or 5 soon and then release some new better sc for legend tournament +

The mojo line has been upgraded to what legends were prior.

So that is not St Croix's site, it's rodgeeks from the link "Most RODgeeks blanks are the same as St. Croix blanks, just produced in our factory in Mexico instead of the St. Croix factory in Wisconsin", ie. all rodgeeks blanks made in Mexico.

The St Croix's from Premier models and up are made in Park Falls.

This is 100% correct. I'm at the factory often and know this to be true.

Rod Geeks (Axiom) and St Croix Co own the Mexico facility. It’s a joint partnership. Looks like the only blanks St croci will make are the V. St croix will still make their own rod blanks for the IV rods they make.
