Exactly how hard is it to come to work each morning and surround yourself with fishing
gear? Rods, reels, hats, t-shirts. Could be worse, that’s for sure. Which might go a long way in
explaining why for over 65 years, St. Croix has weathered all manner of economic times.
PAUL SCHLUTER, JEFF SCHLUTER
Leading the way in technological applications coupled with a commitment to handcrafts-
manship, St. Croix has not only survived but thrived. Thanks to our commitment of putting
engineers together with rod designers, fishermen have enjoyed such breakthroughs as St.
Croix’s exclusive ART ™ and IPC ® technology. Of course, rod performance is only as good as
the design behind it – and rest assured, before we even think about sending a rod through
PAGE
for production, we make sure we spend as much time as necessary in the design department
to assure that every St. Croix rod is engineered and developed to outperform all others.
