SOME FAMILIES HAVE POLITICS OR INVESTMENT BANKING IN THEIR BLOOD, TOO BAD FOR THEM.

Exactly how hard is it to come to work each morning and surround yourself with fishing tackle? Rods, reels, hats, gear. Could be worse, that’s for sure. Which might go a long way in explaining why for over 68 years, St. Croix has emerged as America’s largest manufacturer of premium-quality fishing rods. Our position has been earned by a very unique set of variables:
v St. Croix is family owned and managed. v St. Croix has a strong heritage of USA manufacturing.
v St. Croix, with our two state-of-the-art rod factories, controls every
aspect of the rod making process. We don't rely on contract
manufacturers to build our rods.
From conception to inspection – through unmatched customer service – the focus remains the same: TO BUILD THE BEST RODS ON EARTH.
