Dedicated anglers who pursue crappie, bluegill, and yellow perch are particularly demanding when choosing their panfish rods, and Legend Elite Panfish Spinning Rod meets their demands. These panfishermen need actions and lengths for handling ultra-light line and baits, and they need sensitivity for detecting light strikes, with just the right amount of backbone to set hooks in tender mouths without tearing them loose. Using Integrated Poly Curve (IPC®) mandrel technology and Advanced Reinforcing Technology (ART®), St. Croix has created a rod featuring a combination of high-modulus, high-strain SCV graphite with FRS and carbon-matte scrim for unparalleled sensitivity and durability, and a lower rod section of super-high modulus SCVI graphite with FRS for maximum power, while reducing weight. Taper Enhancement Technology (TET) enhances curved patterns for improved action with increased sensitivity. The Legend Elite panfish rod features Fuji® AT series guides with Torzite® rings and titanium frames to keep weight down, minimize friction for long casts and increased line life, and shed tangles. A Fuji SK2 split reel seat keeps weight to a minimum while maximizing sensitivity. Super-grade, split-grip cork handle provides a comfortable hold, while enhancing control. Two coats of Flex Coat® slow-cure finish prolong rod life. The St. Croix Legend Elite Panfish Spinning Rod carries a mfrs. 15-year transferable warranty backed by St. Croix Superstar Service.
