GXR Bass Systems

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I've put the GXR through everything—frogging, flipping, reaction baits—and it handles it all. The SCII carbon fiber blank gives solid sensitivity without compromising backbone, and the lightweight guides keep casting smooth all day. The premium cork handle feels great even when wet, and I appreciate the attention to detail in every component."

From dialing in reaction baits to flipping into heavy cover, we rely on the St. Croix GXR Bass System Casting Rod to meet the needs of every technique in our bass playbook. Built around a high-modulus SCII carbon fiber blank, this rod offers the sensitivity to detect subtle takes and the power to drive hooks home, even when we're fishing deep in cover. The handle features premium-grade cork and a butt cap of durable EVA for a tactile, balanced feel that holds up to long days on the water. Paired with stainless steel guides and aluminum oxide inserts, it delivers smooth, efficient line control with every cast. Whether we're tossing 3/8-ounce frogs or 1-ounce jigs, the technique-specific tapers and high-quality construction of the GXR lineup give us the edge we need when every cast counts.
