St. Croix Legend Tournament Inshore Spinning Rod – ITLS73MF

Engineered for the discerning angler, the St. Croix Legend Tournament Inshore spinning rod – ITLS73MF is a high-caliber option that sets a standard in innovative fishing gear. It is built with a unique blend of cutting-edge technology and traditional craftsmanship, tailored for inshore saltwater fishing enthusiasts.

One of the key attributes of this rod is its superior construction featuring SCIV+ carbon fiber material. The SCIV+ carbon grants the spinning rod unmatched strength while maintaining a light weight for ease of handling. Its durability is an assurance to the angler that it can withstand vigorous saltwater angling conditions.

With a focus on innovative design, the rod integrates two significant technologies: Advanced Reinforcing Technology (ART) and Integrated Poly Curve (IPC) tooling technology. ART involves an exotic carbon fiber material that adds a significant measure of strength without increasing the diameter or weight of the rod section. IPC eliminates all transitional points in the rod blank, resulting in smoother actions, increased strength, and greater sensitivity. These combined technologies are crucial for a truly enhanced fishing experience.

The inclusion of a super-grade cork handle not only provides a traditional aesthetic but also ensures a comfortable and firm grip, key features for maintaining control during prolonged battles with powerful fish.

St. Croix's reputation for quality is manifest in their generous 15-year transferable warranty and renowned St. Croix Superstar Service. Purchasing this rod means investing in a quality product, with a warranty that underscores the company's confidence in its durability and performance.

Echoing their commitment to excellence, it's important to note that all St. Croix rods are designed and handcrafted in Park Falls, USA. This meticulous process ensures the highest level of quality control and craftsmanship.
