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 IU703.4 is an excellent go-anywhere rod for the serious trout angler. At 7 feet long, it provides a useful balance between ultra-short brush rods and standard 9-foot fly rods, giving you enough reach for line control while remaining compact enough for tight, brush-covered streams. Handcrafted in Park Falls, Wisconsin, this SCIV carbon rod delivers a smooth, responsive action that is delicate enough for size 22 midges yet powerful enough to handle a dry-dropper rig in a mountain breeze.
Why This Outfit Excels
American-Made Quality: Experience the craftsmanship of St. Croix, featuring premium-grade cork and lightweight, specialized guides.
Travel-Ready Design: The 4-piece construction makes this an ideal backpacking fly rod for hiking into remote brook trout headwaters or stowing in a carry-on for distant trips.
Responsive Finesse: Engineered for a crisp, responsive feel, the Imperial series provides excellent line control, making it easier to reach small pockets behind mid-stream boulders and other tight-water targets.
Balanced System: We've paired this rod with the Orvis Clearwater II Fly Reel and Scientific Anglers Frequency Boost fly line for a setup that loads quickly and maintains accuracy at typical small-stream casting distances.
Everything Included in This Pro Outfit
- The Rod: St. Croix Imperial 7' 3-weight 4-piece (IU703.4) with protective rod case and 15-year warranty
- The Reel: Orvis Clearwater II Fly Reel. Choose from Charcoal Gray, Black, or Dark Pine.
- The Fly Line: Scientific Anglers Frequency Boost WF-3-F fly line, designed to load efficiently at short distances.
- The Backing: 20 lb. high-performance Dacron backing, professionally installed.
Free Custom Shop Rigging
We provide free professional spooling so you can head straight to the stream.
How to Order: Please select your Reeling Hand preference.
Reeling Hand: Select the hand you use to crank the fly reel. The other hand will hold the rod. Choose Left or Right.
If you plan to put the line on the reel yourself after your outfit arrives, select “No Line on My Reel.” We will ship the reel, fly line, and backing separately, without the line or backing being spooled onto the reel.
