Introducing the new Legend® Xtreme rods (insert wicked guitar riff here.) Built to not only take it to
the fish, but sear in the hands of the uninitiated as well. Pushing the limits of rod technology, these
16 models are insanely light and sensitive, yet hide enough power in reserve to really put it to the fish when you need to. The dynamic blend of
high-modulus/high-strain SC V graphite with a carbon-matte scrim and super high-modulus SC VI graphite in the lower section for added weight
reduction put the new Legend® Xtremes way out in front. Add in St. Croix’s exclusive IPC® technology for incredible casting smoothness and Advanced
Reinforcing Technology (ART™) for powerful hooksets, and the sweet “blue/green flip” blank color – these are definitely not your father’s fishing rods.

A ROD BUILT FOR THOSE WHO PLACE VALUE ON LIFE’S FINER THINGS.
Especially LIFE’S FINER FISHING RODS.
There are those who think cigars are good for keeping the mosquitoes away and those who appreciate the
refined flavors of a well-crafted Cuban Romeo y Julieta…while it keeps the mosquitoes away. It is this rare
breed of discriminating angler that will be unable to resist our new 2009 Legend Elite® freshwater series.
Built from SC V graphite and marrying every imaginable technological advance available – such as our exclusive ART™ and IPC® – these are the most
sensitive, fast-action fishing tools you can find. Amazingly enough, they are surely amongst the most classically styled beauties, as well. Suited in a
gorgeous forest green pearl finish, trimmed in the highest-grade fittings and topped with a classic handle, they are, simply put, as good as it gets.

Tournament bass fishing is not all glamour, baby. Sometimes you got to get down and dirty. You gotta work around in the lily pads and – okay, it is all glamour. Not only do you receive the
adulation of fishing fans everywhere, but you also spend your time working over the split-grip, super-grade cork handle of a St. Croix® Legend Tournament® Bass rod. Creating an improved
fulcrum point for more efficient casts and lighter weight is just one of the details that distinguishes the Legend Tournament Bass rod from its competitors. All twenty-four technique-
specific models are gussied up with top-of-line components and loaded with our exclusive Advanced Reinforcing Technology™ (ART™) and Integrated Poly Curve® (IPC®) tooling technology.

If you were looking for some friendly lighthearted competition you would have gotten into cage fighting. Instead you fish for walleye and musky.
You don’t mamby-pamby around with bare-knuckles. You wage battle with one of St. Croix’s Legend Tournament® Walleye or Musky rods. Following the
incredible reception of the Tournament Bass split-grip handles, we’ve added seven split-grip Legend Tournament Musky rods in 2009. All of the Legend
Tournaments offer a lethal combination of ART™ and IPC® technologies loaded into a SC IV blank making these the most sophisticated blend of light
weight, casting power, brute strength and tournament-tough durability you’ll find anywhere. If the competition is fishing something else, well, boo-hoo.

AVID S E R I E S | F R E S H W A T E R R O D S
FEATHER LIGHT, SUPER STRONG AND MADE OF GRAPHITE WITH A CONTINUOUS CURVE TAPER.
Tricky fish like steelhead and salmon require nuanced tactics. Sensitivity. Feel. But with plenty of power when the time comes.
Unless you’ve recently undergone piscatorial bionic surgery, you need an Avid Series casting rod. Anything less is to invite
folly. And that’s no good – unless your dog’s name is Folly. Totally redesigned last year, Avid casting rods are built with high-
modulus SC III graphite blanks engineered with our exclusive IPC® technology. Stronger, lighter and more sensitive – these rods are ready for all-day action.
Of course, premium cork handles, Fuji® exposed-blank reel seats and lightweight Alconite® guides make them irresistible to fishermen with big fish on their mind.

You don’t believe fish can be ornery? Grab a bag of popcorn and watch Nemo with the kids. Yikes.
It’s time to bring some law and order to the great blue sea. And there’s no better way to do it than with one

SC IV graphite Belize blue blank. These state-of-the-art saltwater weapons are then topped off with 100% rustproof, super-lightweight

our Avid Inshore casting and spinning rods, you really can’t be blamed for devoting some serious time to fishing. After all, we’re talking about 22 different rods built

The great thing about fish is that they all eat. And if they eat, there’s bound to be someone who can make something to look like what they eat – that has a hook in it. Then the fun starts. As long
as you’re packing along the appropriate Tidemaster® rod. You know, one of the fifty-one different rods developed for almost every fish imaginable. Handcrafted on our exclusive SCII graphite blanks,
Tidemaster rods are strong, extremely sensitive and big-time powerful. Outfitted with primo hardware like Batson Forecast® hard aluminum-oxide guides featuring 316 stainless-steel frames, these
rods mean serious business. No wonder they’ve become a favorite among guides wherever folks fish in saltwater. There’s even a section of travel rods for those of you ready to take it global.
DEPENDING ON THE FISH YOU’RE AFTER, YOU CAN USE A LURE THAT LOOKS
LIKE A HURT FISH, or one that LOOKS LIKE A HURT SCUBA DIVER.

There’s a lot of water to cover between the Chesapeake Bay and Novia Scotia. Just ask the next big striper you bring to
the beach. You can also inform him that with one of St. Croix’s new Legend® Surf rods, travel times drop significantly.
Designed to compete against custom-built surf sticks, there is nothing you can take off the rack and cast as far as a new Legend Surf rod. Starting with our premium SC IV graphite
blank incorporating our exclusive ART™ and IPC® technologies, these beauties set a new standard in high-performance surf rod design. The revolutionary, smaller diameter Fuji® LC
surf guides bring an aggressive new premise to the concept of casting efficiency. Super-sensitive and incredibly lightweight – you may need to submit a flight plan for every cast.

AS THE DAY DRAWS TO A CLOSE, THERE ARE THOSE WHO DINE ON FRESH FISH AND THOSE WHO ORDER
CLAM STRIPS. YOU WANT THE FISH. Nothing wrong ordering from the menu but few things rival the satisfaction of
handing the boys at the dock an impressive selection of dinner options for you and the crew. There’s no better way to
assure that of happening than to have a few St. Croix® Triumph® Saltwater rods aboard. Built on a premium SC II graphite
and SC I glass chassis decked out with a Fuji® reel seat, guides and gimbal, the Triumph Saltwater series represents
the best value you’ll ever find for a rod of this caliber. Somebody should probably start prepping more lemon wedges.

Rods come in all different shapes, sizes, colors and personalities. What works best for you is an individual issue. But apparently, many individuals
find the Premier® Saltwater rods to be just right. Tackle shops everywhere are doing their best to keep at least a few of these multi-dynamic blends
of SC I fiberglass, SC II graphite and SC IIW woven graphite in their racks. But it’s tough. The Premier’s superior hoop strength, incredible impact
resistance, durability and brute lifting power are coveted attributes – i.e. they get snatched up as fast as we can build ‘em. So get on it.

INITIALLY, PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR OBSESSION.
THEN THEY REALIZE FISHING IS A BETTER OBSESSION THAN, SAY,
reruns of “Scrubs.“
“You just went fishing yesterday. And the day before. Don’t you think that’s enough fishing for one week?
Yes, it’s a nice coffee table, but how about one without a painting of fish on it next time? Please stop calling
me your little Pale Morning Dun.” If you’ve reached this stage in your domestic dealings, there’s nothing left to do but seek solace in
the therapeutic powers of a Legend Ultra® fly rod. Its award-winning design of high-modulus SC IV graphite featuring our exclusive ART™ and IPC®
technology, combined with slim-profile ferrules and top-grade components, is a source of strength for all those caught in the spell of angling.

You’re a regular FISHING JEZEBEL, MISTER.
Bass. Trout. Pike. Bonefish. Stripers. Blues. Grayling. You’ve fished the local ponds. You fished
on the way to your brother’s wedding. (C’mon, it was the salmonfly hatch!) You took a fast cast in
the reflecting pond at the mall in D.C., for Heaven’s sake. You’re just the kind of person who’s attracted to our Avid Series® rods.
A comprehensive line of rods engineered with IPC® technology and slim-profile ferrules all decked-out in a canteen green pearl finish.
The casting stroke is best described as “silky.” It loads progressively down the blank, delivering feel beyond your
wildest expectations. With models covering every fishing situation imaginable, these are rods to which you simply can’t say no to.

Breathable waders. Now there’s a reason to look to the heavens and give a big “thank you, amen.” And every time you shake them out, sit on the tailgate
of your vehicle and catch their fishing memory-evoking musk, you can’t help but say, to love me is to love fishing. You have to accept me and my Triumph
fly rods as we are. Yes, rodssss. As in plural. These are the best value going in fly rods. Period. So there’s no rational reason to limit yourself. SCII graphite
blanks. Sweet, yet modest components. These are the perfect moderate-fast action rod for anyone with a passion for fishing. No matter how bizarre.
Pheromones.
SO THAT’S WHAT YOU CALL THAT WADER SMELL?

GREG “THE PROWLER” WILCZYNSKI
THANK GOODNESS FOR ICE FISHING OR ALL OF US UP HERE AT ST. CROIX WOULD BE
REDUCED TO JOINING A bowling league TO PASS THE WINTER MONTHS.
Not that bowling isn’t excellent recreation – but we’d rather be outside fishing
with our Legend® ice rods. Who can blame us? Their patented super finesse and adjustable spring bobber makes them about
the finest rod ever to stand guard over a hole. Likewise, our Premier® ice fishing rods and combos are a rock solid (like the
ice, hopefully) way to get started in ice fishing or build up a genuine arsenal. Yes sir, bowling can wait. Like forever.
St. Croix’s Legend ice rods feature a patented built-in strike indicator system developed by Greg “the prowler” Wilczynski.
This unique spring bobber system turns ordinary fishermen into fish catching machines. A medalist in world ice fishing
competitions, Greg spent years refining his invention. Look for Greg’s seminars throughout the north country.
