SW Section - St. Croix Rods
PAGE 46 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. Croix® surf and inshore rods. PAGE 47 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. LEGENDXTREME INSHORE ® PAGE 48 | SPINNING & CASTING BEST SALTWATER ROD FEATURES Integrated Poly Curve® (IPC®) tooling technology. Taper Enhancement Technology (TET) blank design provides curved patterns for improved action with increased sensitivity. Advanced Reinforcing Technology™ (ART™). Super high-modulus SCVI graphite with FRS in lower section for maximum power and strength with reduced weight. LEGENDXTREME® INSHORE SPINNING RODS MODEL High-modulus / high-strain SCV graphite with FRS and carbon-matte scrim for unparalleled strength, durability and sensitivity. Designed specifically for inshore saltwater angling. Kigan Master Hand Zero Tangle guides with zirconia rings and titanium frames for the ultimate protection against saltwater corrosion.

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. LEGEND INSHORE ® PAGE 50 | SPINNING & CASTING BEST SALTWATER ROD FEATURES Integrated Poly Curve® (IPC®) tooling technology.

CAN’T HELP BEING CURIOUS ABOUT THE FISHING PRESSURE. Everyone knows water is necessary for life. Without water there is no fishing and with no fishing, well there’s no life. This is the case anywhere you go – something to keep in mind as you peruse the new Legend® Trek series. Eight hyper-performance spinning and casting travel rods designed and built for both fresh- and saltwater anglers. Each Legend Trek blank sports a rich Belize blue finish and features proprietary St. Croix® technology, including our SC IV graphite with FRS and ART.™ Corrosion-proof components provide saltwater anglers protection against the elements – whatever those may be on your planet.

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.

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.

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.

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.
