Description Description Hide Show Product Details Drift beads, float jigs, and hardware for Great Lakes steelhead, Pacific salmon, and big-water trout with the St. Croix Legend Elite Salmon & Steelhead Spinning Rod, a two-piece SCV carbon platform refined for sensitivity and crisp power when working river seams and deep current transitions. Integrated Poly Curve Technology removes transitional points in the blank for cleaner load distribution, while Advanced Reinforcing Technology supports the SCV carbon with exotic fibers that resist ovaling and provide a major strength boost without adding weight. Taper Enhancement Technology improves blank response through curved patterning for greater feel when tracking subtle takes, and the Fortified Resin System aligns fibers for long-term durability and improved resistance to microbuckling. Silicon nitridering guides with titanium frames, a nylon reel seat, super-grade cork handles, and a premium EVA butt cap complete a lightweight system built for long drifts, precise mends, and controlled pressure on powerful fish.
