HA – A FEEBLE PHENOMENON COMPARED TO THE FISHING VORTEX.


SCIENCE, HAVING PUT ITSELF TO TASK to explain the innermost workings of the universe, has thankfully turned its attention to fishing. Now we simple anglers are free to use words like thorax, salinity and fulcrum. Make no mistake, employing technical terms in your quest to fish as much as possible isn’t just good thinking – it’s scientifically proven to sound more official. Remember, you’re not just fishing – you’re conducting fisheries research for the common good.

INTRODUCTION

SOME FAMILIES HAVE POLITICS OR INVESTMENT BANKING IN THEIR BLOOD, TOO BAD FOR THEM. Exactly how hard is it to come to work each morning and surround yourself with fishing tackle? Rods, reels, hats, gear. Could be worse, that’s for sure. Which might go a long way in explaining why for over 65 years, St. Croix has emerged as America’s

PAUL SCHLUTER, JEFF SCHLUTER

largest manufacturer of premium-quality fishing rods. Our position has been earned by a very unique set of variables: v St. Croix is family owned and managed. v St. Croix has a strong heritage of USA manufacturing.

PAGE

v St. Croix, with our two state-of-the-art rod factories, controls every aspect of the rod making process. We don't rely on contract manufacturers to build our rods.

4 From conception to inspection – through unmatched customer service – the focus remains the same: TO BUILD THE BEST RODS ON EARTH. DAVE SCHLUTER

IT’S ONE THING TO GO SOMEWHERE AND SEE WHERE HISTORY IS MADE. QUITE ANOTHER TO SEE WHERE THE FUTURE IS MADE. If you ever find yourself in Park Falls, make sure to stop by our rod-building facility. You’re more than welcome to watch some of the impressive processes that go into making a St. Croix rod so special. Chances are you’ll not only gain a profound appreciation for what actually goes into making a St. Croix rod, but you will be inspired to go out and fish. Now.

DESIGN & MANUFACTURING

MANUFACTURING We are always pushing the outer limits of new manufacturing technologies. We use the latest in CNC (Computer Numerical Control) technology to turn our own aluminum and plastic trim pieces, wind checks, shims and other rod components. This allows us to tightly control the precision and quality of every part while increasing efficiency in our work flow. It’s about as high-tech as you can get – and produces a better, more consistent product, every time.

DESIGN IPC,® ART,™ TET, FRS and the many other design and manufacturing technologies and protocols that go into building the most advanced fishing rods on earth didn’t come about by accident – or by trial and error. We use sophisticated CAD programs like 3D Solidworks in the design and modeling of every rod, handle and custom component part to achieve the ultimate level of precision. PAGE

HANDCRAFTSMANSHIP It takes experience, dedication and talent to handcraft a premiumperformance fishing rod, and St. Croix’s team of expert rod builders are the best in the business. It takes over 30 pairs of hands to complete three-dozen different steps in the manufacturing, assembly and finishing of a St. Croix rod. Whether that takes place at our headquarters in Park Falls, Wisconsin – or our state-of-the-art factory in Fresnillo, Mexico – each rod is a product of the passion and attention to detail of the talented people who make them.

ENGINEERING/TECHNOLOGY

When you set out to uncover what makes a St. Croix different from other rods, you need to 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.

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.

Advanced Reinforcing Technology™ (ART™)

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 computerized pattern cutting machine.

IPC blanks have a more uniform wall thickness from tip to butt

Non-IPC® blanks have distinct transition points

When combined with IPC-mandrels, these

actions and improved sensitivity. This

pattern design and cutting technology is a dramatic departure from traditional Non-IPC® blank

Fortified Resin System

ART™ is an exotic carbon fiber material that adds a magnitude (10X) of strength with virtually no increase in blank diameter or rod weight.

featured in Legend Xtreme and Legend Xtreme Inshore.

Introduced in 2013, St. Croix has broken new ground in premium rod manufacturing technology with the development of our 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 LegendXtreme, Legend Elite, Legend Tournament Bass/Walleye/Musky, LegendXtreme Inshore, Legend Inshore, Legend Surf, Legend Salt, Legend X, Bank Robber, High Stick Drifter – and the new Legend Trek.

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.

PHYSIOLOGY SOUNDS A LOT LIKE FISHOLOGY –

THE LATTER OF WHICH INVOLVES MORE BEER.


IT IS AN AMBITIOUS UNDERTAKING to delve into the science of fishing. The complex world that lies beneath water is but one factor in the discipline. There is an equally mysterious and often misunderstood environment up top as well – filled with bizarre traditions, customs and chemical reactions. We recommend you begin experiments properly equipped with something in graphite.

GENIUS. NEED WE SAY MORE? Some of the greatest minds in the fishing industry have devoted their energies to designing the St. Croix® LegendXtreme.® Boatloads of energy – to use a technical term. Quite frankly that’s what it takes to put together a series of 31 insanely sensitive models handcrafted using high-modulus/high-strain SC V graphite with a carbon-matte scrim and reinforced with super-high-modulus SC VI graphite for added weight reduction. Our TET (Taper Enhancement Technology) blank design improves sensitivity. Add in ART,™ IPC® and FRS and a St. Croix-designed grip, and no one can argue these are not a product of the world’s leading fishing brainiacs. SPINNING & CASTING

REPEATEDLY FISHING ALONE DOESN’T MEAN YOU HAVE A PERSONALITY DISORDER, RIGHT? Jean-Paul Sartre once said, “Hell is other people.” We’ve said it before, but anyone who hated crowds that much must have been a fisherman. One who probably had his perfect morning ruined by some guy motoring right up to his quiet spot on the lake and taking a swim. We’re pretty sure Sartre would have been a fan of our Legend Elite® series, as well. Loaded with technological advances, SC V and SC VI graphite as well as ART,™ IPC® and FRS – these are the real deal – thoughtful rods for thoughtful fishermen. You could even think of them as the LegendXtreme’s quiet cousin thanks to the classic forest green pearl finish and traditional cork handles.

CHAOS THEORY. AS CLOSE AS ANYONE HAS EVER GOTTEN TO EXPLAINING WHAT GOES ON AT A BASS TOURNAMENT. Some guy once said something to the effect that success was 90% mental and the other half physical. More than likely he was talking about making good at a bass tournament. Mind, body, gear and the ability to stay calm when the water around you is churning with whatever it happens to be churning with, is just the kind of test your Legend Tournament® Bass rods are built for. These 27 technique-specific, tournament-grade LTs are light and loaded with ART™ and IPC® technology.

ST. CROIX’S FIRST LAW OF PHYSICS: A LURE IN MOTION TENDS TO STAY IN MOTION UNTIL IT IS ACTED UPON BY AN OUTSIDE FORCE. ENGULFED BY A FISH, BEING AN OUTSIDE FORCE. Until science comes in and explains things in a scientific way, we’re left to fend for ourselves with nothing more than common sense. Fortunately, this works a good deal of the time with fishing. No one needs to tell you there is going to be a transfer of energy coming through that Legend Tournament® Walleye or Musky rod when something fishy is on the other end. Thankfully, both series are super light, powerful and finished with advanced components. Both feature SC IV blanks and St. Croix’s exclusive ART™ and IPC® technology as well as FRS for incredible durability. No wonder they’re the preferred choice of the hardcore walleye and musky angler.

With high-modulus SC III graphite blanks and our exclusive IPC® technology, Avid casting rods are super light, hypersensitive to strikes and finished with premium-grade components. Three positives make a positive. Right?

SCIENCE MAY HAVE A DIFFERENT DEFINITION, BUT IN THE WORLD OF FISHING, WE HAVE OUR OWN IDEA OF WHAT MAKES A FREE RADICAL. Words and terms can get pretty twisted in this day and age. Sometimes it’s best to just break things down to basics. “Free” means able to go fishing instead of being bound by the shackles of responsibility. “Radical” typically refers to a rod like the brand new Avid X. A dramatic new look at our popular Avid Series,® these rods feature classic SC III graphite blanks with IPC® tooling technology, cork split-grip handles and Kigan’s advanced micro-guide platform that reduces weight while maintaining optimum line flow efficiency. There you go. That wasn’t so complicated after all.

THE CLINICAL DEFINITION OF PARANOIA MENTIONS NOTHING ABOUT HAVING TO REVEAL YOUR FISHING SPOTS. One person’s crazy is another person’s deeply devoted. By the same token, one person’s paranoia is simply another person’s resource protection. There is little room for interpretation when it comes to our Rage series rods, however. No one can deny these are perfectly balanced SC III graphite rods with IPC® technology. Okay, there is the not-so-mainstream thinking represented by the machined-core, neoprenecovered handle and the combination of premium Pac Bay Minima micro guides with a small stripper guide for casting precision, but that’s not exactly crazy. Or is it?

THE THEORY OF RELATIVITY. THAT MUST BE WHAT THEY CALL IT WHEN YOU’RE FISHING WITH YOUR WIFE’S BROTHER AND ALL THE BEER DISAPPEARS. There’s intuition, and then there’s science. Sometimes they even converge. Such is the case when you have a strong, sneaking suspicion that someone is enjoying more than their fair share, and the data (empty cans) confirms the hypothesis. At which point, you are left to make the best of the situation by going to work with your Mojo Bass series rod.

IF THERE ISN’T A FORMULA FOR THE LEECH-TO-WALLEYE SIZE RELATIONSHIP, THERE SHOULD BE. Judged on effectiveness, we’re guessing the leech-to-walleye size formula is something like a 1:1 ratio. So dig deep, sailor and find the one that will make a difference. Then send that sucker out there via an Eyecon® rod. These are, after all, the same rods that won the Field & Stream 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. Every rod in the series delivers the dialed-in performance walleye anglers crave.

IF WORK IS THE IMMOVABLE OBJECT, THEN FISHING IS THE IRRESISTIBLE FORCE. ADVANTAGE FISHING. While there are exceptions to every rule – most of us have to earn a living. That typically involves a structured environment known as a job. Cumbersome as it is, it can still not eliminate your ability to take advantage of a St. Croix® Panfish or Trout Series rod. Both are designed to provide the perfect blend of power, sensitivity and balance – while serving up dialed-in performance for fish that require the utmost finesse and delicacy.

ST. CROIX’S THIRD LAW OF FISHING GEAR PHYSICS HOLDS THAT FOR EVERY SPINNING ROD YOU OWN, THERE SHOULD BE AN EQUAL AND OPPOSITE CASTING ROD. There are certain laws of nature you simply can’t argue. Gravity, for example. Or the uncontrollable energy and sheer momentum that comes from getting a couple new rods and craving a few more. Especially when those rods are the premium SC II graphite blanks and high-grade components like those found in the Premier® line of spinning rods. The fact that these rods are fast, light and loaded with genuine fortitude only compounds the problem.

A LOT CAN BE LEARNED BY LOOKING AT THE INNERMOST WORKINGS OF THE MIND OF A STEELHEAD FISHERMAN. OR NOT. We’re pretty sure brain scans would reveal pronounced activity in the frontal cortex, which would point to deep cognitive activity centered on getting a rig in front of a fish. This would surely be useful information for anyone mulling a Wild River® salmon and steelhead rod. Featuring 38 unique, specialized lengths, actions and powers to cover any situation, Wild River rods are built on stunning blanks with a rich gold dust green metallic finish. You’ll even find Downrigging and Kokanee categories in the mix. No brain scan is necessary to tell us what you’re probably thinking about now.

HOW MANY DAYS YOU SHOULD GO FISHING = N + 1, N = HOW MANY DAYS YOU’VE BEEN FISHING SO FAR. When the word gets out that you’re heading to the lake for the day, there’s nothing as convincing as a dose of complicated math to ward off any opposition. Sometimes all it takes is using “logarithm” in a sentence, and you’re free to reach right for a St. Croix® Triumph® rod and head out. Made with SC II graphite and available in a variety of styles, Triumph rods deliver more value per cast than any other rod going, making both your money and time well spent. And yes, there’s a formula you can use for that too.

ALL THIS TIME WE’VE DEFINED THE NECESSITIES OF LIFE AS FOOD, WATER AND SHELTER. SEEMS WE COMPLETELY FORGOT THE FISHING ROD PART. Here’s a fun barroom discussion topic – what exactly does man need to survive? At the local establishments here in Park Falls, there is nearly unanimous agreement the list should include our new Triumph® X rods. Each features St. Croix’s premiumquality SC II graphite blank finished with a highly detailed paint process resulting in a vibrant, customized appearance. Topped off with a premium EVA split-grip handle combined with a Fuji® reel seat for all-day casting comfort, the new Triumph X is the perfect rod for bass, walleye, pike and panfish at a tremendous value. So, to review: Food. Water. Shelter. And Triumph X.

THE OCEAN IS KNOWN TO HAVE SERIOUSLY CORROSIVE PROPERTIES.

IT IS ESPECIALLY DESTRUCTIVE TO CAREERS.


THERE WERE EXPECTATIONS. Maybe you were going to do this – or that. A mortgage. Big car. Nice suit. Then you got your feet wet in the salt, and everything changed. Your perspective was altered, and suddenly the repetition of modern life lost its luster. A car became nothing more than a way to get to the water. What you wore fishing constituted a wardrobe. And a mortgage? A house is nothing more than a place to protect your collection of St. CroixŽ surf and inshore rods.

REPEATED PATTERNS OF BEHAVIOR

ARE ONLY OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE IF THE BEHAVIOR HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FISHING. Few people know this coming in, but fishing gets you off the hook, so to speak, for all manner of things. Behavior that otherwise might land you in discussions with a trained mental health professional is perfectly normal. Staring glassy-eyed at these LegendXtreme® Inshore rods, for example. Hyper-performance rods for intense inshore fishing, and loaded with proprietary technologies on high-modulus SC VI and SC V graphite blanks and fitted with cutting edge components, these are the rods you go to when you’re genuinely loony about fishing.

MOMENTUM IS CALCULATED AS: M = SPEED X THE SIZE OF THE FISH. Some fish are fast. Some fish are big. And some fish are fast and big. By the same token – some rods are good and some rods are Legend® Inshore rods. These nine premium-performance inshore rods feature about every ounce of technology we could put in them, like IPC,® ART,™ and FRS, plus corrosion-proof components like Kigan titanium frame guides and machined trim pieces on the Fuji® SK2™ reel seats. Performance is calculated: Legend Inshore x technology = performance.

EATING LUNCH OFF THE TOP OF THE COOLER. THAT’S WHAT’S REFERRED TO AS THE PERIODIC TABLE. With so much technology seeping its way into fishing, it certainly is nice when we all revert to some time-honored traditions. A can of sardines, crackers and a cold beverage enjoyed right there in the boat, for example. They’re the perfect accompaniment to a day spent with a St. Croix® Avid Inshore rod. With IPC® combined with high-modulus SC III graphite blanks on all 22 models, these offer a solid foundation for a wide variety of species. Add zirconium guides with 316 stainless-steel frames for superior saltwater corrosion protection – and you’re looking at a tasty scenario.

REDFISH DON’T REQUIRE A DEGREE IN PALEONTOLOGY – JUST A GOOD ROD. Stare a redfish in the face and you might think you’ve gone back in time a few thousand years. We pity Mr. Neanderthal because he had nothing like the Mojo Inshore series to work with. He had nothing but a stick. A stick. Meanwhile you have St. Croix’s premium-quality SC II graphite blank – equipped with hard aluminum-oxide guides featuring 316 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. That’s something a modern man like you can really appreciate.

NASA IS NOT THE ONLY ONE FIRING ROCKETS OUT OVER THE OCEAN. Few things offer more genuine satisfaction than watching a contrail form as you send a rig out over the deep blue sea. And in most cases, that satisfaction comes via a St. Croix® Legend® Surf rod. True surfcasting specialists, these rods are superbly balanced and designed for uncompromising performance. With our exclusive ART™ and IPC® technologies, and equipped with small-diameter Fuji® LC surf guides, you have to start accounting for satellite positions before you cast.

GOOD NEWS ABOUT STRENGTH-TO-WEIGHT RATIO –

WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THE RODS, NOT YOU. A recent study conducted by a few guys down at the pier found that anglers are indeed model physical specimens. Perhaps not as model as Avid Surf rods, but still pretty good. It is a tough comparison as we’re talking about eleven different lightweight powerhouses – each 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. Premium Fuji® K-Series guides top it all off. Like we said, pretty tough competition.

THANKS TO THE EROSIONAL PROPERTIES OF THE TIDES, YOU NOW HAVE SOME PRETTY NICE CASTING PLATFORMS. Let’s all take a moment and say a word of thanks for geology. Chances are it was a curious geologist who first worked his way out to these rocks to get a closer look. While out there, he said, “Bet I could finally cast out to those stripers from here.” And that friends, was the birth of Rock Hoppers. Next thing you know they’re clamoring for Mojo Surf rods too. A combination of strong SC II graphite and weight-saving surf guides, these hardcore surf rods are perfect for anyone who is always looking for a way to get a little further out there.

CLIMATOLOGISTS TELL US THE OCEANS ARE RISING. AND THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A BAD THING? Our planet is going through a shift at the moment, and the effects have been dramatic. One of these is a warming trend that has effectively put more water into the oceans. From the perspective of a saltwater angler, this may not be all bad. Of course, confirming these theories might require some work with St. Croix® Legend® Salt rods. Amped-up with our very own IPC® tooling technology and strengthened internally with ART,™ these rods are a valuable tool in conducting ongoing oceanic research. Carry on.

SCIENCE STILL CAN’T EXPLAIN WHY SALMON TAKE A FLY. PAGE

70

HECK, IT CAN’T EVEN EXPLAIN HOW A BICYCLE WORKS.


MIGHTY MINDS HAVE DEVOTED THEIR ENERGIES to answering nature’s greatest questions. For the most part, this is good. But still, a little mystery is not to be feared. It’s okay for a salmon that has come in from years in the ocean, found its home river and is now dancing at the end of your line to stay in the category of magic. Or trout slowly rising to the surface and slurping in a mayfly can simply be described as amazing. There’s no need to get bogged down in the scientific reasons why these things are the way they are. If you really want to get all “technical” – it’s probably best to keep it confined to describing the following selection of St. Croix® fly rods.

Slim-profile ferrules, stunning cosmetics matched with a premium, highmodulus / high-strain SC V graphite blank featuring ART™ and IPC® technology?

CASTING THESE FLIES DEFY THE LAWS OF PHYSICS. BUT THEN, SOME OF US HAVE ALWAYS BEEN OUTLAWS. When we asked Kelly Galloup to design his dream rod, we knew it would be a wild ride. Next thing you know we’re producing these babies. The Bank Robber, the ultimate streamer fishing rod for chucking big, weighted flies effortlessly with the precision of a Tomahawk missile. And the High Stick Drifter – with a special lightweight tip – offers today’s advanced nymph fishermen superb sensitivity and control without the fatigue associated with holding the rod high for long periods of time. Both series lead the way in their categories – it’s a wonder they’re even legal.

“I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE ENTOMOLOGIST” SOUNDS BETTER THAN “I’LL BE DOWN AT THE FLY

SHOP DIGGING THROUGH THE BINS OF FLIES.” The more you learn about fly fishing, the more you find that a little technical sounding mumbo-jumbo (that’s the scientific term) can go a long way when dealing with non-fly-fishing folks. Your boss, for example. The St. Croix® Imperial® fly rod is no mumbo-jumbo though. Handcrafted at our factory in Park Falls, Wisconsin, its dynamic blend of two graphite materials provides a lightweight and fast-action rod built for a variety of fishing applications. “I’ll be down at the aquatic shoreline interface conducting research.” Try that one.

THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD WHO DON’T KNOW CARTOGRAPHY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ONLINE SHOPPING. Virtual fishing is right up there with virtual anything else. So here’s to everyone who’s looked at a real map, found a real body of water to explore and taken a real Rio Santo rod down to do some real fishing. 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 are quite simply, the real deal.

THE WORLD IS MADE UP OF TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE –

THOSE WHO LIKED THE POLAR VORTEX, AND THOSE WHO MISSED THE FISHING. Winter is not something to survive. It is not time to read a book or catch up on Breaking Bad. Okay, maybe a Breaking Bad marathon is not out of the question. In fact, it might be the perfect end to a day of pulling fish out of a hole in the ice with a St. Croix® ice rod. Legend Gold, Legend Silver, the new Avid Ice or the ever popular Premier Ice Combo, no one puts more rod technology on the ice.

ICE RODS


St. Croix’s Legend Gold and Silver 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. The super-finesse coil spring is much more sensitive than any other type of indicator. It allows ice anglers to see the most subtle bump or strike well before it can be felt. GREG “THE PROWLER” WILCZYNSKI

ICE ROD STRIKE INDICATOR SYSTEM – HOW IT WORKS:

Illustration No. 1

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)
