American Made Salmon and Steelhead Fishing Rods

American Made Salmon and Steelhead Fishing Rods

A lot of steelhead and salmon fisherman are starting to take serious look at the
St Croix Wild River fishing rods. These rods are premium rods that can be found
in many boats on rivers in Alaska, Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Heck you can
find these rods on just about every lake or river in the US.

One of the first things you’ll notice is the craftsmanship with all St Croix
rods. Using quality reel sets, guides and a patented graphite, these rods are
extremely sensitive without sacrificing powerful hook sets. Depending on which
series you purchase you can expect to pay from $100 up to $400. Some of their
rods are feather light, and super sensitive. I know we love to use these rods
for fishing for steelhead on the Columbia River.

For steelhead and salmon fisherman you have your choice of these St Croix rods.

* Triump Series

* Wild River Salmon

* Legend Elite

* Avid Series

What I have noticed recently is the move to longer rods for steelhead/salmon.
As you know these fish are powerful and will not give up quickly. The longer
your rod the easier it is on your arms to land the fish. I made the mistake
recently of using a 8’6″ rod and hooked into a 13 pound steelhead. The normal
time it takes to land a smaller fish is less than 5 minutes. A fish of this
size can either come in quickly or they will give you a fight that lasts 10-15
minutes depending on how soft your drag is.

That 8’6″ rod is a great rod but it took it’s toll on my arms. I couldn’t
believe how tired I was after landing that fish. Had I been using my St Croix
noodle rod like I normally do, it wouldn’t have been as fatiqued.

Why was I using the smaller rod in the first place?

I like to fish with two rods to keep my bait in front of the fish longer. I
have one loaded with schrimp and the other fishing. When I pull in the line, if
my schrimp is gone, I cast the other rod out and get my other rod ready for the
next time. Since I don’t have 2 noodle rods, I have to use my old rod, so that
is why carry two rods.

These steelhead and salmon rods come with a very unique warranty that you truly
need to check out on their website. Depending on which series of rod you
purchase, you will either receive a limited lifetime warranty, 5 year warranty
or a one year warranty.

The next time you are at your local sporting goods store, go visit the rod
section and take a look at these rods. They are light, have two coats of slow
drying “flex coat” and they use a patented IPC and ART technology that allows
the rod to be smaller, but strong enough for any salmon you can catch.

If you are going to compare these rods to other rods, my best advice is to put a
reel on both rods and then play around with them. You can feel the difference
and for your next birthday or Christmas ask for these rods, you won’t be
disappointed.

You’ve gotta take a look at their Avid Pearl rod for women, it’s ubelievable St
Croix Fishing Rods. If you like to fish in the winter then please take a look
at some of the heaters you could have sitting in your boat keeping you warm.
