We’re all human. We have desires. Needs. And if ogling over the latest selection of St. Croix beauties puts the curl in your cast, so tospeak, well that’s just fine. Especially when the page turns to ourLegend Elite® fly rods. A seductive combination of slim-profile ferrules and stunning cosmetics matched with premium, high-modulus, high-strain SCV graphite blanks loaded with ART™ and IPC®

technology. Legend Elites also feature SCVI graphite in the lowerportion of the rod for added power and reduced weight. All this, andNSi (Nano Silica) resin technology, as well. The result is enoughspace-age science and American handcraftsmanship to give you afour-piece rod that performs like a one-piece. Freshwater modelsare finished in a smooth Gallatin green, while the saltwater rods –featuring our max-power butt section for handling big fish and evenbigger winds – are finished in a sweet Belize blue.

FLY FISHING.

CAN A FLY ROD CHANGE YOUR LIFE?DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH OF A LIFE YOU

HAVE OUTSIDE OF

When it comes to understanding the latest sub-surface fishing techniques, few people know more than Kelly Galloup – which is whywe asked him to help us develop the best-selling Bank Robber™ andthe new-for-2012 High Stick Drifter. The Bank Robber is simply theultimate streamer-fishing rod for chucking big weighted flieseffortlessly but with the precision of a Tomahawk missile.

The new High Stick Drifter is designed specifically for today’sadvanced nymph fishing methods. They feature a special lightweighttip made possible by using high modulus/high strain SCV graphitewith NSi resin (featuring the 3M’s nano Matrix Resin) and a carbon-matte scrim. This unique tip reduces angler fatigue when the rod isheld high for long periods of time, while emphasizing sensitivity forbetter strike detection. And the balance? Incredible.

Both series feature SCVI graphite in lower sections for added powerwith reduced weight and St. Croix’s proprietary ART™ and IPC® tech-nology – making them the most technologically advanced fly rodsin existence. Can these rods change your life? Yea. We think so.

INSTEAD OF BEING PREOCCUPIED WITH FISHING,

WHY NOT JUST GO AHEAD

“OCCUPIED?”AND BECOME OFFICIALLY

Sit there at your desk idly staring at the abyss with visions of pocket-water in your head and your stellar professional reputation may takea dive. Things could be significantly worse if you operate heavymachinery in a state of piscatorial distraction. At that point it’s probably best to just pack it up and hit the water with an Avid Series®

fly rod. This impressive line of trout rods featuring IPC® technologywith slim-profile ferrules and a beautiful canteen-green pearl finish isalways ready for action. The moderate action loading progressivelydown the SCIII blank makes them ideal for protecting light tippets, andthe extensive selection of models covers a wide array of trout fishingsituations. No matter what else you’re supposed to be doing.
