ST. CROIX’S ALL-NEW LEGEND TOURNAMENT® BASS
SERIES INCLUDES 25 TECHNIQUE-SPECIFIC MODELS
Park Falls,WI – St. Croix’s all-new Legend Tournament® Bass casting and spinning rods offer serious anglers 25
different technique-specific models – and more advanced design and manufacturing technology than any other bass
rod on the market today.With 18 casting models and 7 spinning models, each rod is built on completely re-engineered
mandrels designed with St. Croix’s proprietary Integrated Poly Curve® (IPC ®) tooling technology.The blanks
combine high-modulus/high-strain SCIV graphite with NSi (Nano Silica) resin – a proprietary Matrix Resin from
3M™ that significantly increases strength and durability with no change to the weight.The new rods are further
strengthened with Advanced Reinforcing Technology™ (ART™ ), another St. Croix exclusive.
“The re-engineered Legend Tournament Bass rods represent the state-of-the-art in spinning and casting rod design,”
explained Jeff Schluter, St. Croix’s vice president of marketing and sales. “We’ve improved our very popular series
by increasing the quality while maintaining a similar price.The blanks are newly designed and feature innovative
3M™ Matrix Resin which we call NSi for a 30% increase in strength. In addition, guides are updated to
Fuji® K Series Tangle-Free with Alconite® rings in smaller sizes to reduce tip mass and we’ve added Fuji’s new
SK2™ split reel seat for the ultimate in lightweight and sensitivity.The result is a series on the cutting edge in
regards to smooth casting power, lightweight balance, extreme sensitivity, rugged durability and striking appearance.”
Legend Tournament Bass rods also feature split-grip/super-grade cork handles, machined-aluminum wind check
and trim pieces, and Flex-Coat® slow cure thread finish.The retail range is $230 - $270.
All Legend Tournament Bass rods are designed and handcrafted in Park Falls,WI and protected by a lifetime limited
warranty backed by St. Croix Superstar Service.
