Bass-focused rod family built on SCIII carbon fiber blanks sealed with St. Croix's Fortified Resin System. Integrated Poly Curve tooling removes transition points along the taper for a continuous load curve. Made in Park Falls, Wisconsin. The lineup runs 31 models in casting and spinning, with one- and two-piece options on shared lengths.

Casting actions cover 6'8" medium extra-fast through 7'10" extra-extra-heavy fast. Spinning runs from 6'8" medium extra-fast through 7'10" medium-light extra-fast. Power and action combinations target finesse plastics, jigs, cranks, swim jigs, frogs, swimbaits, and heavy cover flipping. Guides use stainless frames with aluminum-oxide inserts.

Handles combine premium EVA and nylon reel seats with cork rubber trim. Backed by St. Croix's 5-year limited warranty plus the Superstar program. Priced in the upper-mid tier of the St. Croix bass lineup.
