ST. CROIX | P U T T I N G S PAC E AG E T E C H N O L O G Y AT A N G L E R ’ S F I N G E RT I P S . A N D F I S H ’ S L I P S . ENGINEERING When you set out to uncover what makes a St. Croix different from other rods, you need look no further than the engineer sitting right beside the rod designer. It’s a partnership that’s produced such breakthroughs as St. Croix’s exclusive Integrated Poly Curve® and Advanced Reinforcing Technology.™ Rod performance is only as good as the design behind it – and rest assured, before we even think about sending a rod through for production, we make sure we spend as much time as necessary in the design department to assure that every St. Croix rod is engineered and developed to outperform all others.
Integrated Poly Curve® (IPC®) Technology IPC® blanks have a more uniform wall thickness from tip to butt
Non-IPC® blanks have distinct transition points
Integrated Poly Curve® (IPC®) Technology Developed exclusively by St. Croix, Integrated Poly Curve® (IPC®) tooling technology has rapidly become the engineering leader in rodmaking.
Non-IPC® blank
Designed to eliminate all transitional points in the rod blank, IPC-engineered
IPC® blank rods feature smoother actions, increased strength and greater sensitivity. Illustration above is an exaggeration to demonstrate the difference between IPC and non-IPC blanks.
Advanced Reinforcing Technology™ (ART™) Advanced Reinforcing Technology™ (ART™)
ART™ layers Advanced Reinforcing Technology™ (ART™) is an exotic carbon fiber material that adds a magnitude (10X) of strength with virtually no 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.

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,® LegendXtreme,® 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 LegendXtreme® 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.

Doctors will tell you to exercise, cut down on salt and stop drinking to lower your blood pressure. Not to go against doctor’s orders, but we’re convinced if you get out on the water often enough, you can enjoy a cold beer and not see adverse affects next time you walk by a sphygmomanometer. This is based on the fact that not all doctors are familiar with our Legend Elite® freshwater rods. Especially our latest St. Croix Legend Elites. Wooooweee. Built from SC V and SC VI graphite and marrying every imaginable technological advance such as ART™ and IPC,® these are sensitive, fast-action fishing tools.

Each one features our exclusive IPC® technology and is built with a light, high-modulus SCIII graphite blank. Strong, light and super sensitive, these rods are ready for all-day, electrical-conducting action. Rounded out with premium cork handles, Fuji® exposed-blank reel seats and lightweight Alconite® guides, these are serious rods for serious fish.

B U T P R O B A B LY A M E A L O R T WO O F B U T T E R B U R G E R S A S W E L L . Fishing is power. Thanks to the irrefutable health benefits of angling, we are free to indulge in what other, non-anglers (i.e. ninnys) might think of as suspect practices. These are, of course, the same people who have no idea what they’re missing by never spending a day with a rod from our Premier® casting lineup. Handcrafted from premium SC II graphite with ultra-hard SiC tip tops, these are serious go-to musky rods. Bass fanatic? Settle down. Premier casting rods can work a crankbait right like nobody’s business, too. With 40 models to choose from, you can’t help but feel sorry for those who have not allowed themselves this pleasure.

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.

Salmon

HEALTHY
O M E G A- 3 S .
A N D YO U D O N ’ T E V E N H AV E T O E AT T H E M .
Recent studies (by us) have found salmon and steelhead fishing to be effective in lowering bad cholesterol levels. It helps if you take along a snack of whole grain muesli and blueberries, but let’s not get too technical. What we would like to focus on is the wholesome goodness of standing near a river and casting a glob of salmon eggs with a Wild River® rod. With 25 different specialized lengths, tapers and powers to address every imaginable need in salmon or steelhead fishing, there’s bound to be at least one that appeals to your tastes.

Hey, we can’t let a couple bad experiences bring it down for everyone. Just because a couple guys get obsessed and have a less than desirable experience on the water doesn’t mean fishing is bad for you. These guys didn’t have the benefit of Avid Inshore rods. How could they? We just introduced them last year. Twenty-two different rods built with our Integrated Poly Curve® (IPC®) tooling technology on premium, high-modulus SCIII graphite blanks are topped off with Alps zirconium guides with 316 stainless-steel frames for outstanding protection from saltwater corrosion. A handsome copper pearl paint finishes it all off. Alright, maybe “finishing off” wasn’t what we meant to say there.

IT’S ALL BASED ON A COMPLICATED MATHEMATICAL FORMULA INVOLVING HOW WELL THE FISH HAVE BEEN BITING IN RELATION TO THE NUMBER OF DAYS YOUR MOTHER-IN-LAW IS VISITING.
Fortified with essential vitamins and nutrients, or in this case grips, guides and graphite, our Tidemaster® rods are an essential part of a good breakfast. And lunch. And dinner. And midnight snack, depending on the fish you’re after. Handcrafted on our exclusive SCII graphite blanks, Tidemaster rods are strong, extremely sensitive and big-time powerful. Outfitted with premo hardware like the Batson Forecast® hard aluminum-oxide guides – featuring 316 stainless-steel frames, these rods are packed full of goodness. No wonder they’ve become a favorite among saltwater guides everywhere. There’s even a section of travel rods for those of you ready to take it global. Again, dependant on the aforementioned formula.

FLY FISHING
I S G O O D F O R YO U .
Fly fishing may not be for everyone. In fact, some people experience dramatic and permanent side-effects. Such as an inability to stay on the road when it follows alongside a river. Or decreased concentration at parent teacher conferences during blue-winged olive hatches. Or a complete dependence on Legend Elite fly rods. Yes, the uncontrollable need to experience slim-profile ferrules and stunning cosmetics married to premium, high-modulus, high-strain SCV graphite blanks loaded with ART™ and IPC® technology has been reported. Legend Elites also feature SC VI 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 rods – featuring our max-power butt section for handling big fish and even bigger winds – are finished in a sweet, Belize blue. Every one meets the demands of the most intense fresh- and saltwater fly-fishing applications conceived. Use wisely.

Time marches on and it can be hard to maintain that youthful vigor. Luckily, today we have a wealth of scientific enhancements to counteract the effects of time. Some guys reach for a little blue pill. Others turn to St. Croix’s Avid Series® trout rods. This comprehensive line of rods feature IPC® technology with slim-profile ferrules and a beautiful canteen-green pearl finish. The moderate-action loads progressively down the SCIII blank making it ideal for protecting light tippets. With a selection of models covering a wide array of trout fishing situations, these rods can put a little spring in your step. Not to mention your cast. Sounds healthy to us.

GOOD STOUT
IS FOR.
Easy drinking beer is the express lane on the highway to ruin. Beer isn’t meant to be confused with water, and fly fishing isn’t meant to be confused with video games. Fly fishing asks you to dedicate a little heart. A little soul. A little practice, for crying out loud. But it’s not like you don’t get the joy of fishing an Imperial® series fly rod in return. Dressed out in an uncompromisingly gorgeous gloss burgundy blank, just holding an Imperial has health benefits. 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. It’s like a five-star detox program for the soul. The lavish components laid out on each of these models being the five-star part.

Jack lives and works in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where he still finds lots of time to fish with his wife and family.

Ice Rod Strike Indicator System – How it Works:
Features
Features
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.
Super-finesse, high-tension, stainless-steel strike indicator with 24-carat gold plating.
Solid carbon blank for extreme sensitivity and durability.
(illustration no. 1)
Fully adjustable and interchangeable spring indicator system.
Traditional cork handle.
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.
