IT TAKES CONTROL TO OFFER OUR ANGLERS CONTROL

Mastery suggests there’s no more room to grow or improve. Control, however, is something different; it holds open a path towards perfection.

Control comes from practice and experience, but also from choosing rods that give you a head start. It’s an edge we call the upper hand, and it comes from meticulous engineering, precise craftsmanship, rigorous testing, excellent customer service, and a passion that matches your own.

St. Croix Rod exercises complete control over design and manufacturing so anglers experience greater success on the water. We accomplish this through firsthand ownership and operation of the two most advanced fishing-rod factories in the world – St. Croix North in Park Falls, Wisconsin, and St. Croix South in Fresnillo, Mexico. Here – every day – our team members are empowered with the best materials, equipment, and technologies to produce the Best Rods on Earth – rods that heighten the fishing experience by increasing angler control and delivering on the key performance variables of accuracy, power, durability, sensitivity, balance, and value.

Regardless of where any St. Croix rod is built, it represents our persistent pursuit of perfection. Best Rods on Earth, you see, has never been a marketing slogan; it’s a standard we set for ourselves – one that’s followed from project conception to the time a rod reaches your hands, as well anytime thereafter when service may be required.

Thank you for trusting us with your on-the-water experiences for the last 77 years and for being the most important part of our St. Croix Family.

TECHNOLOGY GROUNDBREAKING

INTEGRATED POLY CURVE® TECHNOLOGY

Eliminates all the transitional points in the rod blank, providing smoother actions, increased strength and greater sensitivity.

Non-IPC® blanks have distinct transition points.

St. Croix flexes its engineering muscle by operating the most advanced R&D department in the industry.

Investing in emerging composite materials and utilizing the latest manufacturing processes, we have created many of the industry's biggest performance breakthroughs, and continue to explore new ways to make fishing better. Lighter, stronger and more responsive rods all begin with these advancements. But all you need to know is that our technology drives our mission to build the Best Rods On Earth®.

ADVANCED REINFORCING TECHNOLOGY™

Exotic carbon fiber material prevents ovaling and adds 10x strength without increasing blank diameter or weight.

significantly improves the hoop strength of the blank, preventing it from deforming or “ovaling" under severe load. ART is featured in the

ART™

slim-ferrule design by St. Croix.

ART™ layers

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

IPC® blank

FORTIFIED RESIN SYSTEM

Advanced super-resin and blank curing system prevents microbuckling by keeping fibers in proper alignment, providing a 33% increase in strength vs. standard resins.

TAPER ENHANCEMENT

TECHNOLOGY

Precision cut, curved blank patterns create rods with better action and improved sensitivity.

VEIL TECHNOLOGY

A blend of carbon fiber, fiberglass, and explicit resin combined to exponentially reduce the effects of exterior impacts on blank integrities. This trilogy of materials increases the durability in an event of an impact from a lead weight, rock or any hard surface.

GRASP II® TECHNOLOGY

Designed by St. Croix and found exclusively on St. Croix products, the next-generation GRASP II (patent-pending) seat enhances angler comfort and control in large-lure presentations with three interchangeable trigger options – a full-sized GRASP palming trigger, a smaller, standard-sized casting trigger, or no trigger via a flat insert which covers the attachment area. GRASP II accessories swap-out quickly and easily with no tools and come in a premium pouch.

TRIGON TECHNOLOGY

TRIGON handle design features a curved, triangular profile with a rounded inner apex to promote greater hand- toblank alignment for dramatically improved control, along with a flattened top curve for greater hand comfort and reduced fatigue. The results are a more comfortable grip, so anglers can fish longer while exercising increased control to maximize power and accuracy.

The “Action" of a rod is determined by where a rod flexes along the blank. Faster action rods flex mostly near the tip. Moderate action rods flex more near the middle of the blank. Slower action rods flex down into the butt section.

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. To select a rod power that will perform best for you, simply narrow your choices to rods designed to cast the weight of lures— and sizes of lines—you'll fish with most often.

MATERIALS

Employing precision-cut TET patterns rolled on continuous-taper IPC mandrels, Matrix Composite delivers extreme durability without excess weight, blending strong and resilient woven E-glass with lightweight, highly durable, and sensitive mid-modulus SCII carbon. These materials combine to produce the strongest and most-durable blanks ever produced by St. Croix Rod, while maintaining thin diameters and lightweight handling characteristics preferred by saltwater anglers.

For anglers seeking the lightest rods with extreme sensitivity and recovery.

• Even thinner and denser than SCV for improved carbon fiber alignment

• Incorporates Graphene and VEIL scrim for extreme durability and impact protection

• Almost 12% lighter and over 27% more sensitive than SCVI

Custom blanks, designed for power fishing to finesse applications from a lineage of legendary proprietary materials.

• A harmonious blend between SCIV and SCVI carbon materials

Reaction bait-specific blank designs to reduce weight and emphasize parabolic-bending rod profiles.

• A hybrid blank design consisting of SCIV+ and Linear S-Glass

• Carbon crisp rod feel with pure glass rod parabolic performance under fighting load

• Reduced weight in comparison to similar Linear S-Glass rods

Made for those who outfish their buddies and rely on their rods to do it.
