Engineering/Technology: 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 – so before we even think about sending a rod through for production, we spend as much time as necessary in the design department to ensure that every St. Croix rod is engineered and developed to outperform all others.
Advanced Reinforcing Technology™ (ART™)
Integrated Poly Curve® (IPC®) Technology Developed exclusively by St. Croix, Integrated Poly Curve® (IPC®) tooling 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.
Taper Enhancement Technology
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. ART is also a critical part of our slim-profile ferrule design.
After several years of R&D and testing, St. Croix has perfected an innovative new Taper Enhancement Technology (TET) that begins with precision-cut, curved blank patterns made possible by a state-of-the-art
IPC® blanks have a more uniform wall thickness from tip to butt
computerized pattern cutting machine.
Non-IPC® blanks have distinct transition points
ART™ layers
When combined with IPC-mandrels, these unique patterns create blanks with better actions and improved sensitivity. This pattern design and cutting technology is a dramatic departure from traditional
Non-IPC® blank IPC® blank
straight-line patterns cut by hand. TET will

debut in the all-new Legend Xtreme series.
St. Croix once again breaks new ground in premium rod manufacturing technology with the development of a new Fortified Resin System (FRS), which combines a fortified super resin with new computer operated curing ovens that provide improved temperature and time management through all stages of the curing cycle. FRS prevents microbuckling by keeping the carbon fibers in proper alignment. Blanks manufactured using this advanced manufacturing protocol test out consistently to be 33% stronger than those built with standard resins and curing methods. Rod series manufactured with FRS include Legend Elite, Legend Tournament Bass/Walleye/Musky, Legend Salt, Legend Surf, Bank Robber, High Stick Drifter – and the newly redesigned Legend Xtreme.
Our Blank Materials Guide: Exotic, 62,000,000 modulus, high-strain graphite fiber featuring FRS. Used only as a compliment to other graphite materials, this very expensive graphite is too high in modulus to be used as the primary material.
Featured in LegendXtreme,® Legend Elite,® Panfish Series, Bank Robber™ and High Stick Drifter rods.
Extremely efficient material that adds power with minimal weight. Assists in minimizing blank diameter. For the discriminating angler who appreciates exotic performance.

Service and warranty policies: If there is any one thing that we’re most proud of here at St. Croix, it’s our service. Nowhere else will you find such dedication to fishermen. Because when you invest in a St. Croix rod, we believe you also invest in a relationship with us. And we’ll do everything possible to ensure your complete satisfaction. We stand by our craftsmanship with some of the finest warranties in the business.
The “Power” of a rod refers to how much pressure it takes to flex the rod. Different rod powers are engineered to efficiently handle a certain range of lure weights and line sizes. UL Ultra Light To select a rod power that L Light will perform best for you, ML Medium Light simply narrow your choices M Medium to rods designed to cast MH Medium Heavy the weight of lures – and H Heavy sizes of lines – you’ll fish XH Extra Heavy with most often.
The “Action” of a rod is determined by where a rod flexes along the blank. Faster action rods flex mostly near the tip. XF EXTRA FAST Moderate action X–FAST F FAST rods flex more MF MOD. FAST FAST M MODERATE near the middle S SLOW of the blank. MOD. FAST Slower action MODERATE rods flex down into the butt SLOW section.

Rods meticulously built for special occasions, like when you postpone your annual check-up yet again. Normal people shouldn’t mess around with skipping doctor’s appointments, but you’re not a normal person. You’re an angler, and studies show that the fishing life is the path to health. Be sure and tell all loved ones and/or dependants, that the more time you spend with a Legend Elite® rod in your hand, the healthier you’ll be. Loaded with the full complement of St. Croix® technological advances, SC V and SC VI graphite as well as ART,™ IPC® and FRS – these are the real deal. You could even think of them as the LegendXtreme’s conservative cousin thanks to the classic forest green pearl finish and traditional cork handles. Here’s to good health!

You won again. Good thing you worked on your expression of surprise last night. As with any sport, people tend to lose interest if the outcome seems a forgone conclusion. It’s not even a bad idea to play up the underdog role. Of course, that will be a hard sell if you don’t keep your Legend Tournament® Bass rods tucked away. Last year we redesigned these 25 technique-specific, tournamentgrade LTs and made them even lighter and loaded with ART™ and IPC® technology. Tuned with cutting-edge components, they leave nothing to chance – except steps number two and three on the podium.

How to spend 364 days on the water and still maintain a respectable haircut. Unusual hardships confront the devoted walleye and musky angler. With so many hours dedicated to fishing – especially at the tournament level – it can be hard to conduct a normal life. Fortunately most tackle boxes house a pair of shears – a line clipper at least – and in moderately skilled hands these can keep you looking somewhat presentable. Presentable enough to be seen with a St. Croix® Legend Tournament® Walleye or Musky rod, at least. Super light, powerful and finished with advanced components, both series feature SC IV blanks and St. Croix’s exclusive ART™ and IPC® technology as well as FRS for incredible durability. Clearly the preferred choice of the hardcore – haircut or not.

You’re the only one who needs to know how long it actually takes to renew a fishing license. First, calculate the travel time – make sure to include road construction on the route. Add in “processing” time. Some ambitious anglers will even include the “You know there’s a blood test, right?” trick to buy precious extra minutes. There is no shame in resorting to desperate measures to take advantage of the full range of Avid Series® spinning rods. With 54 technique-specific rods, the power of SC III graphite and St. Croix’s exclusive IPC® technology delivering impressive strength and responsiveness at an unbelievable value, you’re going to need to exhibit some impressive math skills. And, yes, beyond calculating how many beverages will fit in the cooler.

Nothing wrong with having more photos taken with fish than with next of kin. Right? Sentimentalist, yes, Especially when it comes to keepsakes that help you remember the ones you love at those special moments. Like right before you gently toss them over the side of the boat. Avid Pearl rods can generate some sentimental feelings as well. But beneath that glitzy fuchsia-metallic exterior is some hardcore, fishdemoralizing technology. Beginning with a high modulus SC III graphite blank that incorporates our exclusive IPC速 technology, these beauties are highly specialized, technique-specific rods that despite their appearance are all business on the water. Should probably get a few snapshots of these as well.

You aren’t putting off washing your car – you’re collecting dust to keep it out of the environment. There are two sides to every argument.

A personal effort to keep the waters clean and prepped for a day – or 300 – with a Rage rod.

It’s not your fault that bass are such an abundant species. It doesn’t take a degree in Wildlife Management to know that overcrowding is not a good thing. And you’re not the kind of person to sit back and let others do all the hard work. Oh no, that isn’t the way you were raised. You don’t stand aside and watch someone else cast their SC II graphite, technique-specific Mojo Bass rod for the good of all. A rod, we might add, that revolutionized the highperformance, value-priced bass rod landscape. That’s right, you’re going to be out there for the good of the bass.

Salsa dancing lessons just got kicked to the bottom of the bucket list. To live a rich life is to challenge yourself. To grow. To, if nothing else, try a bunch of silly stuff and be able to confidently say, “Been there, done that.” And while being nimble on your feet might impress some, it doesn’t put fish in the boat. For that, you better set the bucket list aside and make sure the wish list includes one or two St. Croix® Mojo Musky rods. Featuring SC II graphite construction, fast actions and power ranges from medium-heavy to extraheavy, they’re up to any challenge Mr. Musky throws your way. Besides, developing a little personal mojo is bound to be on that bucket list somewhere.

The kind of rod that can earn you a cool nickname like “Mr. Straight to Voicemail.” “Hi, leave a message and I’ll be happy to eventually return your call. Just as soon as I get back from tossing a few jigs. Well, technically not then as I plan to also fish some slip bobbers, do a little vertical jigging and then a little bottom bouncing. There’s an Eyecon® rod for all those techniques. These are, after all, the same rods that won Field & Stream’s 2011 Best of the Best award for spinning rods. Eyecons are built on SC II graphite blanks with technique-specific actions for just about any walleye fishing scenario – including trolling, with the launch of last year’s 2012 trolling models. Every rod in the series delivers dialed-in performance walleye anglers crave. Have a nice day.”

There’s a fine line between maintaining your yard and trying to make the neighbor’s yard look bad. No one appreciates the guy who goes overboard in the lawn care arena. It’s downright un-neighborly. To keep the peace, put the weed wacker down and pick up a St. Croix® Panfish rod. Designed with two approaches in mind: Spinning rods up to 7' in ultra-light and light powers with precise, crisp actions; or if you like dropping jigs into brush piles, the 8' to 11' models with moderate-fast actions. Both forever raise the performance bar when it comes to spinning rods for panfish. Invite a few neighbors along and everyone can forget the lawn – for now.

Concealment and domestic bliss go hand in hand, hence the two-piece models. There is a big difference between a secret and simply not flaunting your goodies. Wisdom tells us the latter will keep a household running smoothly and all parties relatively content. While it is hard to imagine, some people simply aren’t as impressed with premium SC II graphite blanks and high-grade components like those found in the PremierŽ line of spinning rods as others. The fact that these spinning rods are fast, light and loaded with genuine fortitude does not elicit the same response as, say, taking care of tonight’s dinner.

It’s not that you choose musky over your spouse.
It’s just a known fact that fishing licenses expire, while marriage licenses don’t. If there is one thing the fishing life teaches you, it’s when an opportunity presents itself you must be ready to capitalize. Life is too short to lament the chances missed – or to wish that you had a rod up to the task. Hmmm, that would then steer us to the Premier® family of casting rods. Thirty eight handcrafted models constructed with premium SC II graphite and top-grade components, these ever-popular rods aren’t in the habit of letting anything slip by – especially if it’s long, mean and toothy.

The only way you’ll be anywhere near a post office on April 15th is if it also doubles as a tackle shop. Get your house in order, hombre, because when the salmon run they wait for no one. Not even Uncle Sam. And you aren’t going to want to miss anything once you get your hands on one of St. Croix’s newly redesigned Wild River® salmon and steelhead rods. Expanded to 35 unique, specialized lengths, actions and powers to cover any situation, Wild River rods are built on all-new blanks with a rich gold dust green metallic finish. We’ve even added Downrigging and Kokanee categories to the mix.

Just because you can name fourteen different species of inshore fish doesn’t mean you can talk your way out of a family reunion. Sticky situations call for smooth dialogue. Start with promises of future vacations. Date nights, mowing the lawn. This is a true test of diplomacy and resourcefulness for the passionate angler and failure means waiting for another day to unleash your brand new Legend® Inshore arsenal. This completely new series of nine premium-performance inshore rods feature about every ounce of technology we can throw out there, like IPC,® ART,™ and FRS, plus corrosion-proof components like Kigan titanium frame guides and delrin trim pieces on the Fuji® SK2™ reel seats. No, your new Legend® Inshore is not meant to sit around while you smile for another group photo – unless there’s a redfish or two in the family.

Navigating through life’s many challenges is no walk in the park. In fact, sometimes it takes a couple big 250-horse diesels. When the journey of life takes you into tidal basins, estuaries and salt marshes, not to mention barrier islands, it’s good to know you have skills and equipment to see tomorrow. As for skills, it’s good to know how to take the helm in all conditions. And in the equipment department – a St. Croix® Avid Inshore rod is necessary. IPC® combined with high-modulus SC III graphite blanks on all 22 models offer a solid foundation for a wide variety of species. Add zirconium guides with 316 stainless-steel frames for superior saltwater corrosion protection – and survival is no longer the question. What’s for dinner? That’s the question.

Handcrafted with our exclusive SC II graphite blanks, and outfitted with uncompromising components, the incredibly popular Tidemaster comes in a huge array of actions, sizes and power ranges – ready for nearly every inshore application.

How to remove a fishhook from your ear: A guide for the previously unpierced. Several different techniques exist for how to deal with a fishhook once it has punctured the skin past the barb. But perhaps the most direct method for the extreme survivalist fisherman is, depending on placement, to leave it. Pretend it was intentional. Deflect attention to your Mojo Inshore rods. Built with St. Croix’s premium-quality SC II graphite and finished with hard aluminum-oxide guides and stainless-steel frames, these rods are incredibly durable and deliver the goods in all their spinning and casting configurations. They’re a superb value to boot. Which is nice in case you seek professional help with that hook, and your health coverage has a high deductible.

A weekend without fishing might be referred to as a “long weekend.” But not in a good way. Fifty-two weekends in a year – unless you’ve just signed on with a charter boat crew, you’re not working with much more than that. Which means you need to, in words reminiscent of Walt Whitman, sap the marrow out of each one. And when it comes to good, hard sapping there’s nothing like a St. Croix® Legend® Surf rod. True surf-casting specialists, these rods are supremely balanced and designed for uncompromising performance. With our exclusive ART™ and IPC® technologies, and equipped with small-diameter Fuji® LC surf guides, you can effortlessly chuck the rig of your choice in nautical miles. Now that, Captain, is living.

If there are more grass clippings in your compost pile than sand in your floorboards, something is very wrong. As you get deeper and deeper into the fishing life there are many things that change. You do not immediately wash your hands after cutting bait, for example. Sand becomes a part of your daily existence and you find yourself needing more rods. Rods like the brand new Avid Surf series. Eleven different lightweight powerhouses – each is targeted to a specific style of obsessed surf angler. With a sweet, red metallic SC III blank featuring IPC,® the Avid Surf casts like a dream – all day without tiring. And the premium Fuji® K-Series guides keep you from tiring of tangles. No sir, it’s not a matter of getting one or not, it’s just a matter of how soon. And then? All will again be right with your world.

Moon phases. Tides. Barometric pressure. With so much to think about how can you be expected to remember an anniversary? Recent brain scans reveal the part of the brain that stores important dates is also the sector that houses all your fishiness. You cannot afford to waste space on dates.

Amped-up with our very own IPC® tooling technology and strengthened internally with ART,™ these are rods that spare nothing – especially the big hunk of something on the other end of the line.

How to convince your sister she should have her wedding in Alaska. Perhaps try something like this. “Ah, the Star of the North – true land of romance. Imagine looking a salmon – I mean, soul mate – in the eyes and pledging lifelong devotion while the Northern Lights dance elegantly in the background. Doesn’t that sound romantic, sis?” Special Note: Do not present this while holding a Legend Elite® fly rod. Although you may find the combination of slim-profile ferrules, stunning cosmetics matched with premium, high-modulus, high-strain SCV graphite blanks featuring ART™ and IPC® technology quite seductive, it could create the impression you have a hidden agenda. It will not help to mention Legend Elites also feature SC VI graphite in the lower portion of the rod for added power and reduced weight along with FRS (Fortified Resin System) for strength and durability. At this point, it’s best to keep the topic focused on the bride.

Half the battle is looking productive, even when your mind is consumed with wooly buggers. Blank stares. Never-ending fishing analogies. Using “hatch” in a sentence. If you hope to make a living this way your name better be Kelly Galloup. At least then you get the chance to help us develop the best-selling Bank Robber™ and High Stick Drifter rods. The Bank Robber is simply the ultimate streamer-fishing rod for chucking big, weighted flies effortlessly – but with the precision of a Tomahawk missile. With a special lightweight tip, the High Stick Drifter is designed specifically for today’s advanced nymph fishing. The unique tip reduces angler fatigue when the rod is held high for long periods of time, while emphasizing sensitivity for better strike detection. Both the Bank Robber and High Stick Drifter rods also feature SCVI graphite in lower sections for added power with reduced weight and St. Croix’s proprietary ART™ and IPC® technology. Are you still with us? Hello? Hmmm. Back to wooly buggers.

The careful balance of maintaining oral hygiene during the peak of a trico hatch. Attention: Some bugs get up at the crack of dawn. Which means you need to be ready two or three cracks before dawn. To maintain a high level of dental excellence, floss and brush the night before and simply not spit out the toothpaste until the next morning. Just be careful not to get any backwash on your Avid Series速 fly rod. An extensive selection of models covering a wide array of trout fishing applications, these moderate-action rods feature IPC速 technology and load progressively down the blank, making them ideal for protecting light tippets. But, be sure to note, their beautiful pearl green finish also highlights dried toothpaste.

What you save on gear you should put towards riverfront real estate. In the ongoing effort to get more fishing time in a world determined to keep you working, shuttling kids to harpsichord lessons or sitting in traffic, have you ever considered the benefits of living closer to fishable water? Of course you have. But all this time you thought it was impossible to put aside funds while building your arsenal of fishing tools. Apparently you hadn’t taken a look at the ImperialŽ fly rod series. Handcrafted at our factory in Park Falls, Wisconsin, its dynamic blend of high-modulus / high-strain SC IV graphite provides a lightweight and fast action experience at a tremendous value. Yep, you could pretty much line a wall with them in your new garage.

It’s good to know that if it comes to it, it is not impossible to hitchhike in waders. Cardboard and a Sharpee® only gets you so far. And any fisherman knows the farther you go, the better it gets. Whether you’re heading out to distant waters or desperate for a ride back to the pub, appealing to the fraternal nature of anglers is often your only hope. Your chance of survival increases if you’re sporting a Rio Santo series rod as well. Built in our Fresnillo facility, they offer a smooth, moderate-fast action that is a pleasure to fish – at all skill levels. Outfitted with quality components from tip-top to reel seat, they let any wouldbe rides know that you’re a sensible and knowledgeable angler, not a lunatic masquerading in waders with a taser in his vest.

St. Croix’s Legend ice rods feature a patented built-in strike indicator system developed by Greg “the prowler” Wilczynski. A medalist in world ice fishing competitions, Greg spent years refining his invention. Look for Greg’s seminars throughout the north country.

LEGEND ICE RODS
FEATURES
Ice Rod Strike Indicator System – How it Works:
Super-finesse, high-tension, stainless-steel strike indicator. Fully adjustable and interchangeable spring indicator system. Solid carbon blank for extreme sensitivity and durability. Comfortable, secure-lock reel seat. Premium, lightweight stainless-steel guides.
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) ( 1)
