St. Croix Legend Elite Salt Fly Rod | SLE1290-4

The St. Croix Legend Elite Salt Fly Rod is engineered for serious saltwater fly anglers who demand maximum strength, accuracy, and feel when targeting powerful species in harsh conditions. This rod features a high-performance blank built from a matrix of high-modulus, high-strain SCIV and SCIII carbon materials, delivering exceptional responsiveness and durability. Advanced technologies including IPC (Integrated Poly Curve) mandrels, ART (Advanced Reinforcing Technology), and FRS (Fortified Resin System) enhance hoop strength, eliminate blank ovaling, and improve recovery speed-all without increasing weight or diameter. TET (Taper Enhancement Technology) further refines the rod’s action by incorporating precision-cut curved patterns for better feel and load consistency. The Slim-Profile Ferrule contributes to overall strength while maintaining a streamlined profile. Outfitted with hard chrome snake guides, double-foot SiC stripper guides, and a custom-machined aluminum uplocking reel seat, the rod is finished with a full wells super-grade cork handle with cork-rubber accents. Models 790-4 through 990-4 feature a contoured 1 in. fighting butt, while 1090-4 through 1290-4 include an oversized version for added leverage. Each Legend Elite Salt Fly Rod comes in a protective aluminum rod tube with a rod sock, ready for demanding days on the flats or offshore.
