News flash — the "large" in large arbor reel is supposed to refer to the spool where the line goes, not the hole where your money goes. Compare the features of these Legend® fly reels to other high-end reels and you get the impression everyone else must be stuffing their large arbors with rare coins.
Fish are not poker chips. They are fish. Living, breathing silvery bundles of electricity. Sometimes they bless us with a bolt of this energy through a fly line. We are lucky. Heck, were lucky just to be standing in water instead of a subway terminal. Luckier still when were armed with a St. Croix Legend Elite® fly rod. Premium, high-modulus, high-strain SCV graphite blanks with carbon-matte scrim, outfitted with top-shelf components and featuring St. Croixs stunning slim-profile ferrule technology. These rods offer cannon-like casting with amazing feel. If you still insist on counting something, make it blessings.
