The new Legend Xtreme Series provides 4 different casting models for a wide range of technique-specific applications. Anglers will find these casting models designed specifically for everything from flipping to frogging. St. Croix Legend Xtreme rods take sensitivity to insane levels with the all-new, exotic Daiwa AGS carbon fiber guide train. These pure carbon fiber guide frames increase energy transmission, resulting in a more sensitive and responsive rod. These guides can also take a beating and resist bending and breaking. The pairing of the new Legend Xtreme blanks with the Daiwa AGS carbon fiber guides is a rod that goes far beyond what anglers previously considered sensitive. The process of making a rod this sensitive shouldnt ignore the critical connection point between rod and angler. Thats why St. Croix developed an all-new handle worthy and up to the rest of the astounding, standards of the new Legend Xtreme. The Gen2 Xtreme-Skin handle performs beyond expectations in all conditions both wet and dry and transmits feedback from the rod with precision and speed.
