The St. Croix Avid Series fly rods are built with St. Croix's SC^III graphite. This is an advanced, high-modulus graphite that delivers maximum durability and sensitivity. Not as fast as the SC^IV graphite used on the Legend Ultras, the SC^III graphite blank material creates a rod with a smooth, light feel in the hand and superb power.

These rods feature Integrated Poly Curve tooling technology. The first process of its kind, IPC creates tapers that are a continuous curve from the tip to the butt of the rod - eliminating all weakening transition points. That means stronger rods and actions that cast with unprecedented smoothness. It's a remarkable performance breakthrough and it's exclusive to St. Croix.

These rods include the following features:

• Integrated Poly Curve tooling technology
• Premium, high-modulus SC^III graphite
• Slim profile ferrules
