St. Croix Imperial 7' 3-Weight Fly Rod Outfit | handcrafted USA Small Stream Kit
Precision Performance for Tight Cover & Remote Waters The St. Croix Imperial 703.4 is the ultimate "go-anywhere" rod for the serious trout angler. At 7 feet long, it provides the perfect compromise between the ultra-short brush rods and standard 9-footers, giving you enough reach for technical mending but enough compactness for heavy overhead canopy. Handcrafted in Park Falls, Wisconsin, this SCIV carbon rod delivers a smooth, fast action that is delicate enough for size 22 midges yet powerful enough to punch a dry-dropper rig through a mountain breeze.
