St. Croix is a fishing rod company deeply rooted in history and tradition. The company was created in 1948 when Bob and Bill Johnson created the first multi-piece fishing rod. Since the bamboo days, St. Croix has evolved with the industry by creating fiberglass rods then pushing industry innovation toward graphite. St. Croix makes a huge lineup of saltwater and freshwater rods, both fly rods and conventional tackle rods. St. Croix fly rods are state-of-the-art and some of the best in today’s fly fishing market.
The Evos is a top St. Croix’s rod series. The St. Croix Evos challenges the status quo of traditional fly rod design and sets the bar for multi-technique performance. Powered by a next-level carbon fiber matrix and exclusive MITO® Graphene technology, Evos’ refined actions are exceptionally responsive through a wide range of casting distances, insanely accurate, and provide the perfect marriage of punch and precision. Fast enough to deliver infinite lifting capability, mesmerizing loop stability, and maximum line speed for challenging conditions, Evos balances speed and power with intimate feel and feedback ideal for technical situations that demand perfect presentation.
Another stellar rod series from St. Croix is the Technica rod series. Dry fly fishing for selective risers on technical rivers, spring creeks, and stillwaters requires a specialized rod, tuned for sophisticated trout. Your tool of choice demands a smooth loading action capable of delivering precise casts with ninja stealth, while maintaining enough authority to turn-over long leaders in the wind, mend with total control, and produce positive hooksets at distance. The new Technica series answers the call of PhD level trout fishing. Its responsive, moderate action paired with an advanced carbon fiber matrix and exclusive MITO® Graphene technology delivers exceptional line speed, endless loop stability, and absolute accuracy. With lengths and line sizes dialed for hunting heads everywhere from wide, windswept rivers to intimate limestones, Technica is a must-have stick for the trickiest of trout fishing situations.
St. Croix has long been known for their legendary Imperial rod series. Hang around fly fishing circles long enough and chances are a large majority of anglers you’ll meet started with, and still have an Imperial rod in their arsenal. That’s in part because no other rod in the history of our sport has had the chops to be on its eighth generation -spanning over sixty years of fly rod manufacturing. Tried and true, the Imperial series of all water rods delivers more than powerful, multi-purpose actions; this iconic series represents a union of tradition and technology, which has kept it at the intersect of American-made craftsmanship, performance, and value over all these years.
For beginners or budget-oriented shoppers, St. Croix offers the Connect fly rod series. The all-water Connect Series offers sticks for any angling adventure – from trout and bass to light saltwater applications. Connect’s medium-fast actions, working in concert with the strength and responsiveness of our legendary SCIII and SCII carbon fiber materials, are engineered for versatility – to give you the upper hand in the widest possible range of conditions and techniques.
Lastly, St. Croix offers their Mojo Bass rod series for the hardcore Bass angler. The Mojo Bass series is the ideal choice for fishing situations that require air-mailing big, wind-resistant flies into tight target windows. A super sneaky 7’11” length coupled with powerful, medium-fast actions puts a premium on accuracy while giving anglers complete control when fishing poppers and heavy streamers.
