St. Croix Has Rods for Everyone Including the Ladies
 

Introduction: With a full assortment of high performance rods, ranging from affordable to premium, St. Croix still has it in them to release four new models of rods and releases additional models in other popular series. One of them is a higher end rod for lady anglers.

Introducing a high end rod for lady anglers, the St. Croix Avid Pearl

Avid Pearl Rods: In the past few years we've seen an increase amount of rods being introduced for lady anglers but those are all extremely low quality and frankly, not very attractive. Here's where St. Croix comes in. They are releasing a whole new series for this specific market called Avid Pearl that gives female anglers a better, higher end rod to fish with.

The Avid Pearl gets quality components. All woman anglers deserve a quality rod to fish with

The new female angler series of avid rods are premium quality, advanced-performance casting and spinning rods designed on St. Croix's SCIII graphite blank with their Integrated Poly Curve (IPC) technology. These rods also feature grips designed to fit a woman's smaller hand. It has decorative, pearlescent, abalone reel seat inserts and an attractive and durable "Fucia Metallic" finish. Slim-profile ferrules (on two piece rods) and Alps Zirconium guides featuring 316 stainless steel frames help the Avid Pearl rods perform as well as they look. Premium Fuji reel seats, split-grip handles with select-grade cork, and two coats of Flex Coat slow curing finish on the wraps round out the most advanced rod series ever developed for lady anglers who take their tackle as seriously as their fishing.

Avid Pearl comes in a very attractive Fucia Metallic finish

The Avid Pearl series has 10 technique and species specific actions designed for bass, walleye, or panfish. The rods are handcrafted in the USA, backed by a lifetime limited warranty, and retail price ranging from $160 to $190. The new Avid Pearl rods will be made available in September 2009.

We are talking crazy detailed, the rods have real abalone incorporated into the design. The reel seat and handles are designed smaller for female anglers

Legend Elite Salmon & Steelhead Rods: St. Croix's top of the line Legend Elite Salmon and Steelhead casting and spinning rods employ the most advanced engineering and graphite obtained to deliver the ultimate in lightweight, ultra-sensitive, super-strong performance. The new series uses St. Croix's proprietary IPC tooling technology which allows their rod designers to create continuous curve tapers, avoiding the inherently weak spots found at the junction points of traditional straight-line compound taper blanks. The result is a lighter, stronger, and more sensitive blank that smoothly stores and releases energy as the rod is loaded and unloaded. Not only that, their Advanced Reinforcing Technology (ART) is also used to these rods for greater performance.
