St. Croix Premier

Fly fishing is one of the most exciting ways to fish. In fly fishing you stalk fish rather than wait for them to stumble across a wiggling worm that you’ve tossed in the water. In fly fishing, if things get slow, you move on to the next location.

Fly fishing is not about waiting for something to happen. The core of this sport is learning how to know what is happening and developing the skills to partake in the sport. Having great equipment is essential so that you get the very best chances of landing the big one.

The St. Croix Premier series casting rods offer a very smooth and moderate-fast action that makes these fly rods ideal for beginners to the sport. The Premier rods are available in weights from four to nine. They are built with the same outstanding SCii graphite as the St. Croix Reign series, but with more modest components. This series from St. Croix features stainless steel snake guides, an uplocking aluminum reel seat, a premium cork handle and aluminum oxide stripper guides. Each St. Croix Premier rod comes with a protective plastic rod case with a cloth sack.

St. Croix has been making fly rods for over fifty years, and they included features on the Premier series that are not available on competing fly rods that cost more than double what the Premier rods cost. The Premier fly rods are perfectly balanced so that you will get outstanding casting performance, whether you are a novice or an expert. The rods feature deep blue graphite blanks with matching blue thread wraps.
