Neighbors smugly look at your yard and think unspeakable thoughts. But no one ever laid on their deathbed saying, ″I wish I had done more yardwork.″ Those of us with an intelligent set of priorities are often found with a St. Croix Avid Series® fly rod in our hands. After all there is one for every fishing situation imaginable. Crafted from St. Croix's exclusive high-modulus SCIII graphite, these are versatile, moderate-fast fly rods that load smoothly and progressively down the blank for a silky casting stroke and exceptional feel. For everything from hatch matching on a gin-clear spring creek to chucking matukas on big water to fighting stripers off the beach. They're better than a weed whacker any day of the week.
