One thing is for sure – if your place of employment is within a moderate double-haul of some fishy water your midday repast is no leisurely experience. On such a tight time frame, you take a guess at which fly will work, tie it on and give ’er a go. Guess wrong – fish wins. Guess right – yippie. Minutes later you quickly pack up your St. Croix Premier® rod and get back while the rest of the guys are still wiping mustard off their shirts. Built from the same SCII graphite as our Reign™ series, but with more modest components, the Premier series offers a smooth moderate-fast action especially forgiving to beginners.
