St Croix Legend Elite FlyRods
For the Discriminating Fly Fisherman
All legend elite fly rods are built with IPC technology to produce enough power to cast a "country mile" should you need to. Well almost. Yet these premium rods maintain a remarkable degree of "feel" when fishing.
I should know. I own a Legend Elite. This remarkable rod is easy on the arm when laying out 50 feet of line plus leader. I can use my Legend Elite all day nymph fishing without my arm dropping off.

Editor's Notes -- The Legend Elite Rods load better with a heavier line weight due to the Fast Tip action. The Legend Elite fly rods are recommended for experienced - serious fishermen everywhere. They are not recommended for the beginning fly fisherman or the novice intermediate.
Discriminating anglers who have tried all kinds of equipment and demand the highest performance from their equipment purchase St Croix Legend Elite rods. The kind of performance the Legend Elite series rods deliver.
