petti Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 So yesterday i went out to pick up some new dry fly line and ended up buying a new rod instead LOL. This rod was designed buy my favorite fly tier Kelly Galloup. The rod is made of SCV highstrain graphite and features the new 3M NANO technology it aslo comes with Fugi K stripper guides. Ive never owned a st.croix rod before but im super pumped to get out on the water and chuck some meaty streamers and see what its all about. Any of you guys/gals used this rod before? Any good/bad St.Croix reviews? Time to hit the bench and tie up some massive streamers!! THX Mike Quote
reevesr1 Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Cool. My son is taking materials engineering in University, specializing in Nano. He can build me a fly rod now. Sweet!! Let us know how you like the rod. Quote
adams Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 I have a St. Croix rod, but it would be no comparison to your state of the art one. It's my backup in case I break my Loomis. Quote
EveretteD Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 I bought a st croix rio santo last year blind. 4wt 8'. Love the rod fir te money. Super light and great for smaller fish in small streams or lakes. I'm sure you will be pleased with the purchase Quote
soggysocks63 Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 I was looking at the bank robber but couldn't justify the cost when the St.Croix Imperial felt quite similar in my hands. A little more weight to it but, a great rod. I've always been a big fan of St.Croix rods though. I am sure it will serve its purpose well, if not just mail it to me and I will give it a good home Quote
darrinhurst Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 I believe you can find them at Wholesale Sports. Quote
Eelpout Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Have not cast the BankRobber, but the grip (front tapered full wells) is super comfy. I am getting one like it on a custom glass rod. Quote
eagleflyfisher Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Who sells St. Croix in town? The SouthBow boy's do, have a couple of Bank Robbers as well. Quote
fishforsport Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 The SouthBow boy's do, have a couple of Bank Robbers as well. The boys at The Fishin' Hole stock the Bank Robbers too !! Quote
