Legend Elite
Completely redesigned for 2016, this is St Croix's most advanced rod to date. From butt to tip, St Croix has made its flagship series even better. Each blank is built with high-modulus/high-strain SCV graphite and reinforced with super-high modulus SCVI graphite in the lower section. Loaded with IPC, ART, TET and new Fuji Torzite guides
with solid-titanium frames – the ultimate guide. The result is a rod
with dramatically improved balance, handle ergonomics and sensitivity.
The bar for freshwater rods has just been seriously raised.
Fortified Resin System
St.
Croix once again breaks new ground in premium rod manufacturing
technology with the development of a new Fortified Resin System (FRS),
which combines a fortified super resin with new computer operated curing
ovens that provide improved temperature and time management through all
stages of the curing cycle. FRS prevents microbuckling by keeping the
carbon fibers in proper alignment. Blanks manufactured using this
advanced manufacturing protocol test out consistently to be 33% stronger
than those built with standard resins and curing methods. Rod series
manufactured with FRS include Legend Elite, Legend Tournament
Bass/Walleye/Musky, Legend Salt, Legend Surf, Bank Robber, High Stick
Drifter – and the newly redesigned Legend Xtreme.
Integrated Poly Curve Technology
Developed
exclusively by St. Croix, Integrated Poly Curve (IPC) tooling
technology has rapidly become the engineering leader in rod making.
Designed to eliminate all transitional points in the rod blank,
IPC-engineered rods feature smoother actions, increased strength and
greater sensitivity.
Advanced Reinforcing Technology
Is an exotic carbon fiber material that adds a magnitude (10X) of
strength with virtually no increase in blank diameter or weight. ART
significantly improves the hoop strength of the blank by preventing it
from deforming or “ovaling” under a severe load, such as a powerful hook
set or fish battle. ART is also a critical part of our slim-profile
ferrule design.
Features:
- Integrated Poly Curve (IPC) tooling technology.
- Taper Enhancement Technology (TET) blank design provides curved patterns for improved action with increased sensitivity.
- Advanced Reinforcing Technology (ART).
- Super high-modulus SCVI graphite with FRS in lower section for maximum power and strength with reduced weight.
- High-modulus/high-strain SCV graphite with FRS and carbon-matte scrim for unparalleled strength, durability and sensitivity.
