Purpose-Driven Performance
St Croix rods provide performance options to all anglers. With rods for every application and technique, our complete collections offer choices in size, power and action, so you'll never need to compromise.
Rod Power
The 'Power' of a rod refers to how much pressure it takes to flex the rod. Different rod powers are engineered to efficiently handle a certain range of lure weights and line sizes. To select a rod power that will perform best for you, simply narrow your choices to rods designed to cast the weight of lures and sizes of lines you'll fish with most often.

Rod Action
The 'Action' of a rod is determined by where a rod flexes along the blank. Faster action rods flex mostly near the tip. Moderate action rods flex more near the middle of the blank. Slower action rods flex down into the butt section.
St Croix Rods provide performance options to all anglers. With rods for every application and technique, our complete collections offer choices in size, power and action, so you'll never need to compromise. People around here have more to be proud of than just the Packers. Although that's high on the list. Exactly how hard is it to come to work each morning and surround yourself with fishing gear? Rods, reels, hats, t-shirts. Could be worse, that’s for sure. Which might go a long way in explaining why for over 65 years, St. Croix has weathered all manner of economic times. Leading the way in technological applications coupled with a commitment to handcraftsmanship, St. Croix has not only survived but thrived. Thanks to our commitment of putting engineers together with rod designers, fishermen have enjoyed such breakthroughs as St. Croix’s exclusive ART™ and IPC® technology. Of course, rod performance is only as good as the design behind it – and rest assured, before we even think about sending a rod through for production, we make sure we spend as much time as necessary in the design department to assure that every St. Croix rod is engineered and developed to outperform all others. It takes experience, dedication and talent to handcraft a premium performance fishing rod, and St. Croix’s team of expert rod builders are the best in the business. It takes over 30 pairs of hands to complete three-dozen different steps in the manufacturing, assembly and finishing of a St. Croix rod. Whether that takes place at our headquarters in Park Falls, Wisconsin – or our state-of-the-art factory in Fresnillo, Mexico – each rod is a product of the passion and attention to detail of the talented people who make them.
