Integrated Poly Curve® (IPC®) Technology Developed exclusively by St. Croix, Integrated Poly Curve® (IPC®) technology has rapidly become the engineering leader in rodmaking. Designed to eliminate all transitional points in the rod blank, IPC-engineered rods feature smoother actions, increased strength and greater sensitivity. IPC® blanks have no distinct transition points

increase in blank diameter or weight. ART significantly improves the hoop strength of the blank by preventing it from deforming or “ovaling” under a severe load, such as a powerful hook set or fish battle. ART is also a critical part of our slim-profile ferrule design.
Leading the industry in state-of-the-art rod building, St. Croix has taken yet another step towards moving rod construction to a whole new, unsurpassable level with our new pattern cutting machine. This new machine provides the highest level of precision and reflects our commitment to investing in the latest technology available to stay ahead of our competition, defending our position as America’s largest rod manufacturer.

It’s called the human touch.
There is really no replacement for the human element that comes with the manufacturing of every St. Croix. People dedicated to making sure each and every rod is built with pride. The same people who take the time to make sure every step of the way no corner is cut. Period. The passion and pride that go along with making a St. Croix rod is second to none.
O U R B L A N K M AT E R I A L S G U I D E Great rods begin with the highest quality blank materials and expert manufacturing techniques and processes. Each material listed here is exclusive to St. Croix and is designed for specific performance characteristics.
SCVI
Exotic, 62,000,000 modulus, high-strain graphite fiber used only as a compliment to other graphite material(s). This very expensive graphite is too high in modulus to be used as the primary material. Be wary of claims by other companies touting ultra-high modulus at suspiciously low prices.
Featured in Legend Elite,® Legend® Xtreme, Legend Tournament® Bass/Walleye, Legend® Inshore and Legend Ultra® rods.
Extremely efficient material that adds power with minimal weight. Assists with minimizing blank diameter. For the discriminating angler who appreciates exotic performance.
Featured in Legend Elite® and Legend® Xtreme rods.
SCV
Extraordinary high-modulus/high-strain graphite fiber with carbon-matte scrim. This is the finest all-purpose blank material used in fishing rod manufacturing and is exclusive to St. Croix.
Creates the lightest, most sensitive rods on the planet. If you like to push the envelope and lead the way, these are the rods for you. Made for those who outfish their buddies and rely on their rods to do it.

WE EXPECT SOME FISHERMEN TO SHOW EXTREME INTEREST IN THESE RODS.
Most likely
IN THE FORM OF A TATTOO.
Introducing the new Legend® Xtreme rods (insert wicked guitar riff here.) Built to not only take it to the fish, but sear in the hands of the uninitiated as well. Pushing the limits of rod technology, these 16 models are insanely light and sensitive, yet hide enough power in reserve to really put it to the fish when you need to. The dynamic blend of high-modulus/high-strain SC V graphite with a carbon-matte scrim and super high-modulus SC VI graphite in the lower section for added weight reduction put the new Legend® Xtremes way out in front. Add in St. Croix’s exclusive IPC® technology for incredible casting smoothness and Advanced Reinforcing Technology (ART™) for powerful hooksets, and the sweet “blue/green flip” blank color – these are definitely not your father’s fishing rods.

SOMETIMES IT’S NOT ENOUGH TO JUST BEAT YOUR COMPETITORS.
You want to
HEAR THEIR FAMILIES SOB.
If you were looking for some friendly lighthearted competition you would have gotten into cage fighting. Instead you fish for walleye and musky. You don’t mamby-pamby around with bare-knuckles. You wage battle with one of St. Croix’s Legend Tournament® Walleye or Musky rods. Following the incredible reception of the Tournament Bass split-grip handles, we’ve added seven split-grip Legend Tournament Musky rods in 2009. All of the Legend Tournaments offer a lethal combination of ART™ and IPC® technologies loaded into a SC IV blank making these the most sophisticated blend of light weight, casting power, brute strength and tournament-tough durability you’ll find anywhere. If the competition is fishing something else, well, boo-hoo.

FEATHER LIGHT, SUPER STRONG AND MADE OF GRAPHITE WITH A CONTINUOUS CURVE TAPER.
Tricky fish like steelhead and salmon require nuanced tactics. Sensitivity. Feel. But with plenty of power when the time comes. Unless you’ve recently undergone piscatorial bionic surgery, you need an Avid Series casting rod. Anything less is to invite folly. And that’s no good – unless your dog’s name is Folly. Totally redesigned last year, Avid casting rods are built with highmodulus SC III graphite blanks engineered with our exclusive IPC® technology. Stronger, lighter and more sensitive – these rods are ready for all-day action. Of course, premium cork handles, Fuji® exposed-blank reel seats and lightweight Alconite® guides make them irresistible to fishermen with big fish on their mind.

BIGGER FISH. MORE OF THEM IN THE LIVE WELL. IT’S ALL TO COME ONCE YOU
get your Mojo
WORKING.
So you’re new on the tournament scene but gunning for the podium nevertheless. You’re going to need something in place of years of tournament savvy and a rumpus room full of trophies. You need more than hunger. You need more than smarts. You’re going to need nothing short of Mojo. The new St. Croix® Mojo Bass rods, to be specific. These brand-spanking new 12 technique-specific beauties are fully-loaded SC II graphite magic wands dressed up in a hot, black cherry metallic finish. And you don’t deal in black magic and skimp on the components, either. No short cuts were taken here. Mercy.

ARCHEOLOGISTS TELL US THE EGYPTIANS WERE MAKING FISHING LURES AS EARLY AS 2,000 BC.
Who knew
THEY EVEN HAD NEON PAINT BACK THEN?
Oh, what a thing of beauty, the fishing lure. Simple. Ingenious. Like the wheel. Only better than the wheel. Wheels, of course, not exactly capturing the attention of most fish. Wheels also being fairly hard to cast. Even with one of our incredibly popular Premier速 spinning rods. Built from premium SC II graphite blanks and high-grade components these super-fast, super-light, super-strong wonders can cast just about anything else though.

LURES FOR FISH COME IN A GAZILLION DIFFERENT SHAPES AND SIZES. JUDGING FROM THE NEXT PAGE,
the same can be said
OF THE LURES FOR FISHERMEN.
When you’re hunting big, snarling, yet finicky, musky and often-but-not-always ravenous bass you better have a wide assortment of attractive enticements. Sure, you’ll need to take some lures, too. But what fisherman can resist the workhorse personality of our Premier® casting rods. Handcrafted from premium SCII graphite with ultra-hard SiC tip tops these are serious go-to musky rods. But that’s not to say devoted bass fishermen don’t find them equally appealing. In fact, with such a comprehensive selection of Premier rods to choose from, it’s remarkable anyone even makes it out of the tackle shop and goes fishing.
26
Some people fish for fish, some people fish for voracious prehistoric dinosaurs, more commonly known as Muskellunge. No matter what grabs your fancy – or your crankbait – the Avid Series® AC300A casting reel is perfect for throwing big lures to big fish.

WHAT IS IT THAT MAKES A STEELHEAD BITE WHEN IT ISN’T EVEN HUNGRY?
Does it really matter? Children. There may be no better experience to help you understand steelhead than living through the irrational behavior of children. Both do things that seem to defy reason. Both offer rewards that are impossible to explain to the uninitiated. Too bad the world of child-rearing doesn’t have its version of St. Croix’s Wild River® series. With 25 different specialized lengths, tapers and powers to address every imaginable need in salmon and steelhead fishing, you at least feel like you have a fighting chance. There’s nothing like that when it comes to kids.

THERE ARE MEN WHO ACTUALLY WEAR HAIR GEL AND GET MANICURES. SOUNDS LIKE IT’S TIME FOR SOMEBODY TO GET IN TOUCH WITH
their inner fisherman. The world is getting to be a crazy place. Dog psychiatrists. Support groups. Pickup trucks with GPS. Good gosh almighty, where is this country headed? It’s time to take anyone who seems to be losing touch with reality by the ears and drag ‘em off to wrangle with some bucketmouths. Time to get ‘em handling some live bait. Hand them a Triumph® spinning or casting rod. These are hands down the most rod you can get for the money. With a full range of models featuring our premium SCII graphite and top-notch components, there’s bound to be something that strikes their fancy. To round things out, this year we’ve added a whole new series of salmon and steelhead rods.

SUPPOSEDLY, THE IDEA THAT WE EVOLVED FROM OCEANDWELLING CREATURES EXPLAINS WHY WE’RE POWERFULLY DRAWN TO THE SEA. SOUNDS LIKE SOMEBODY’S OVER ANALYZING THERE, DOCTOR. WE CAN TELL YOU WHY FOLKS GET ALL WHACKO ABOUT THE OCEAN IN JUST ONE WORD – FISH. THE PLACE IS FULL OF FISH. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOU CAN JUST SEND OUR Ph.D TO PARK FALLS, WISCONSIN.

THERE ARE FISH OUT THERE THAT EAT THEIR YOUNG. THESE ARE FISH
that desperately
NEED A LESSON IN MANNERS.
You don’t believe fish can be ornery? Grab a bag of popcorn and watch Nemo with the kids. Yikes. It’s time to bring some law and order to the great blue sea. And there’s no better way to do it than with one of St. Croix’s Legend® Inshore rods. A powerful combination of ART™ and IPC® technologies housed in a SC IV graphite Belize blue blank. These state-of-the-art saltwater weapons are then topped off with 100% rustproof, super-lightweight REC® Recoil guides. Incredibly light and extremely durable, these rods will teach fish a few lessons every time they leave the dock.

WHEN IT COMES TO INSHORE FISHING, EVERYDAY IS DIFFERENT. SOUNDS LIKE A
good reason
TO GO FISHING EVERY DAY.
“Install the new Super-Lux massaging showerhead? I’m sorry, dear, but tomorrow I’m going snook fishing. And then Sunday it’s our Cobia day. Monday? Well, you remember, Monday I’m going out for redfish.” Let’s face it, with an exciting new series of rods like our Avid Inshore casting and spinning rods, you really can’t be blamed for devoting some serious time to fishing. After all, we’re talking about 22 different rods built with our Integrated Poly Curve® (IPC®) tooling technology on premium, high-modulus SCIII graphite blanks outfitted with Alps™ zirconium guides with 316 stainlesssteel frames for outstanding protection from saltwater corrosion. The handsome copper pearl finish makes them downright irresistible. Day after day after day.

The great thing about fish is that they all eat. And if they eat, there’s bound to be someone who can make something to look like what they eat – that has a hook in it. Then the fun starts. As long as you’re packing along the appropriate Tidemaster® rod. You know, one of the fifty-one different rods developed for almost every fish imaginable. Handcrafted on our exclusive SCII graphite blanks, Tidemaster rods are strong, extremely sensitive and big-time powerful. Outfitted with primo hardware like Batson Forecast® hard aluminum-oxide guides featuring 316 stainless-steel frames, these rods mean serious business. No wonder they’ve become a favorite among guides wherever folks fish in saltwater. There’s even a section of travel rods for those of you ready to take it global.
DEPENDING ON THE FISH YOU’RE AFTER, YOU CAN USE A LURE THAT LOOKS LIKE A HURT FISH,
or one that
LOOKS LIKE A HURT SCUBA DIVER.

STRIPERS TAKE MOST OF THE SUMMER TO WORK THEIR WAY UP AND DOWN THE COAST.
You can do it
IN JUST A COUPLE CASTS.
There’s a lot of water to cover between the Chesapeake Bay and Novia Scotia. Just ask the next big striper you bring to the beach. You can also inform him that with one of St. Croix’s new Legend® Surf rods, travel times drop significantly. Designed to compete against custom-built surf sticks, there is nothing you can take off the rack and cast as far as a new Legend Surf rod. Starting with our premium SC IV graphite blank incorporating our exclusive ART™ and IPC® technologies, these beauties set a new standard in high-performance surf rod design. The revolutionary, smaller diameter Fuji® LC surf guides bring an aggressive new premise to the concept of casting efficiency. Super-sensitive and incredibly lightweight – you may need to submit a flight plan for every cast.

You’re standing on the beach, casting your rig when your piscatorial peace is broken by the whine of a two-stroke wad of nuisance. Round and round he goes, right in the middle of the school of blues you had just started working. Hmmmm. Let’s see – if I had one of those Triumph surf rods I bet I might be able to reach him. Built from premium SC II graphite and admirably trimmed, there is absolutely no better rod for the money in saltwater surf fishing. Or saltwater target practice, for that matter.

A GOOD SALTWATER ROD IS LIKE SHOES. WHEN YOU FIND SOMETHING YOU LIKE, YOU SHOULD
probably
BUY A PAIR.
Rods come in all different shapes, sizes, colors and personalities. What works best for you is an individual issue. But apparently, many individuals find the Premier® Saltwater rods to be just right. Tackle shops everywhere are doing their best to keep at least a few of these multi-dynamic blends of SC I fiberglass, SC II graphite and SC IIW woven graphite in their racks. But it’s tough. The Premier’s superior hoop strength, incredible impact resistance, durability and brute lifting power are coveted attributes – i.e. they get snatched up as fast as we can build ‘em. So get on it.

]
FLY FISHING HAS GONE IN SOME CRAZY DIRECTIONS LATELY. BUT IT’S STILL FLY FISHING. IT’S STILL QUIET. IT’S STILL A PERFECT EXCUSE TO SPEND TIME IN PRISTINE PLACES. IT’S STILL A BEAUTIFUL THING TO WATCH YOUR CAST UNFURL OVER A COOL RUNNING RIVER AND GENTLY LAY DOWN A RAY CHARLES GREY AND TAN IN A QUIET EDDY. THESE THINGS ABOUT FLY FISHING WILL NEVER CHANGE. YOU CAN BET YOUR LIME HUMPY ON THAT.
49
YOU CAN NOW TRULY PUT A CAST EXACTLY WHERE YOU WANT IT. AS LONG AS YOU CAN
afford the airfare.
Maybe you have a thing for taimen. Or your tickets are in hand for Kamchaka. Or let’s say you just want to be able to flick that parachute adams under the low hanging limb on the opposite bank of your home river. All of the above? Well, here are the Legend Elite® fly rods to the rescue. We completely redesigned this series last year to meet the demands of the most intense fresh- and saltwater fly fishing applications encountered. Lighter, slim-profile ferrules and stunning cosmetics are married to premium, high-modulus, high-strain SC v graphite blanks with carbon-matte scrim and loaded with ART™ and IPC® technologies. Legend Elites also feature SCVI graphite in the lower portion of the rod for added power and reduced weight. The result is enough space-age science and American handcraftsmanship to give you a four-piece rod that performs like a one-piece. Freshwater models are finished in a smooth Gallatin green, while the saltwater series, featuring our max-power butt section for handling big fish and even bigger winds, is cloaked in a sweet Belize blue.

INITIALLY, PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR OBSESSION. THEN THEY REALIZE FISHING IS A BETTER OBSESSION THAN, SAY,
reruns of “Scrubs.“ “You just went fishing yesterday. And the day before. Don’t you think that’s enough fishing for one week? Yes, it’s a nice coffee table, but how about one without a painting of fish on it next time? Please stop calling me your little Pale Morning Dun.” If you’ve reached this stage in your domestic dealings, there’s nothing left to do but seek solace in the therapeutic powers of a Legend Ultra® fly rod. Its award-winning design of high-modulus SC IV graphite featuring our exclusive ART™ and IPC® technology, combined with slim-profile ferrules and top-grade components, is a source of strength for all those caught in the spell of angling.

Then you cast. Immediately, the dynamic blend of high-modulus/ high-strain SCIV graphite and premium-quality SCII graphite for light weight and fast action is employed.

Breathable waders. Now there’s a reason to look to the heavens and give a big “thank you, amen.” And every time you shake them out, sit on the tailgate of your vehicle and catch their fishing memory-evoking musk, you can’t help but say, to love me is to love fishing. You have to accept me and my Triumph fly rods as we are. Yes, rodssss. As in plural. These are the best value going in fly rods. Period. So there’s no rational reason to limit yourself. SCII graphite blanks. Sweet, yet modest components. These are the perfect moderate-fast action rod for anyone with a passion for fishing. No matter how bizarre.
Pheromones.

GREG “THE PROWLER” WILCZYNSKI
THANK GOODNESS FOR ICE FISHING OR ALL OF US UP HERE AT ST. CROIX WOULD BE REDUCED TO JOINING A
bowling league
TO PASS THE WINTER MONTHS.
Not that bowling isn’t excellent recreation – but we’d rather be outside fishing with our Legend® ice rods. Who can blame us? Their patented super finesse and adjustable spring bobber makes them about the finest rod ever to stand guard over a hole. Likewise, our Premier® ice fishing rods and combos are a rock solid (like the ice, hopefully) way to get started in ice fishing or build up a genuine arsenal. Yes sir, bowling can wait. Like forever.
St. Croix’s Legend ice rods feature a patented built-in strike indicator system developed by Greg “the prowler” Wilczynski. This unique spring bobber system turns ordinary fishermen into fish catching machines. A medalist in world ice fishing competitions, Greg spent years refining his invention. Look for Greg’s seminars throughout the north country.

IRC34 – ICE ROD/REEL CASE Designed to hold multiple rods with reels attached, carrying your gear out onto the ice is now a piece of cake. Full-length zipper makes the in and out easy. And the shoulder strap ingeniously keeps them out of your way to and from the shanty.
LEGEND ICE RODS Ice Rod Strike Indicator System – How it Works: St. Croix’s strike indicator system is adjustable, so its sensitivity level can accommodate different lure sizes. To make the bobber more sensitive, push the spring forward through the grommet. To make it less sensitive, push it back. (illustration no. 1) The system is most sensitive when there is a 30-degree bend (position 2) in the spring. To find the bottom, lower the jig until the indicator returns to position 1. Then, either slowly reel up once or lift the rod slightly until the indicator is back to position 2. (illustration no. 2)
