Award-Winning Legend Elite all-water flyrod series ready for September fishing adventures
PARK FALLS, WIS. (July 24, 2025) – Trade shows and awards are fun. For our team at St. Croix Fly, ICAST 2025 presented great opportunities for reconnecting with existing retail and media friends, while making plenty of new ones. We had a lot to talk about; specifically, the four all-new rod series our team in Park Falls, Wisconsin has poured our hearts, brains, and souls into over the past two years or so.
More important than words, though, were the hours spent at the casting pond where we put LEGEND ELITE, LEGEND ELITE SALT, TANNIC BASS, and TANNIC MUSKY into the hands of industry professionals so they could experience the joys of casting these significant, new, made-in-the-USA rods firsthand. It was a wonderful week, capped off by LEGEND ELITE’s recognition as Best Fly Rod in the 2025 ICAST New Product Showcase Awards.
If you attended ICAST and took the time to come see our team, THANK YOU. If not, we’re here to answer any questions you may have – about either the rods themselves, our brand, our facilities and resources, or how we can work together to meet your business objectives while putting the BEST RODS ON EARTH into the hands of even more anglers.
The award-winning LEGEND ELITE series is currently available for order by retail partners, with delivery and angler availability in early September. LEGEND ELITE SALT and TANNIC BASS will follow in early November, and LEGEND ELITE MUSKY in early December. Existing St. Croix Fly specialty retail partners can reach out to their regional sales representative for assistance. Professional guides with established shop affiliations are also encouraged to reach out to their regional sales rep for information on our pro programs.
