Eyecon

The St. Croix Eyecon is a walleye-dedicated spinning and casting series built on SCII carbon fiber blanks with the Fortified Resin System. It is among St. Croix's best-selling walleye series and is technique-mapped to specific presentations, each rod in the lineup corresponds to a named walleye technique (VERTICAL JIG, JIG-N-RIG, SNAP JIG, CRANKIN', DRIFT-N-FLOAT, etc.) visible in the model specs. The target angler is a serious walleye angler who understands presentation-specific rod requirements. Not built for bass or general multi-species use despite the overlapping lengths and powers.

MSRP ranges $120–175. Materials include SCII carbon fiber with FRS, hybrid guide trains (combining stainless and aluminum oxide rings) designed to reduce braid noise, premium cork split-grip handles with technique-tailored foregrips, and nylon reel seats with EVA hardware. The hybrid guide train is a specific walleye-fishing choice: it reduces the high-frequency vibration when braided line passes through the guides during long drifts. Two-piece variants (suffix "2") of many models appear alongside single-piece, allowing travel-friendly options with no performance compromise per St. Croix.

The series is 17 spinning / 1 casting. Lengths span 5'8" to 8'. Power range: L through H, the H model (EYS58HF) is a short, stiff heavy-metal jigging rod. Extra-fast action models cover vertical jigging and slip-float presentations; moderate and moderate-fast rods cover crankbait and snap-jig techniques. The 7'1" models (EYS71MF/EYS71MMF) target jig-and-rap jigging and rip-cranking for open-water walleye. The 8' ML two-piece (EYS80MLF2) is the longest rod for drift and float applications in high-current situations.
