Beginning this Valentine’s Day, St. Croix Fly Rods and Hatch Magazine are offering anglers the chance to fall in love with a legend — St. Croix’s all-new Legend Elite SALT. Whether your next adventure will take you to a tropical bonefish or permit flat, to the gulf coast in search of mammoth redfish, to the north Atlantic to chase false albacore, or anywhere else fish swim in saltwater — you can enter to win a Legend to enhance your arsenal.
Maximize your chances to win by taking advantage of numerous entry methods. The winner, who will be selected on Februrary 28, 2027, will be able to select his or her choice of any model in the St. Croix Legend Elite SALT rod series.
Whether you live and work along the coast or it’s where your travels take you, saltwater fly fishing never gets old. The ocean is where new experiences happen daily – on windy flats, tide-flooded mangroves, estuaries and passes, or glassy offshore waters.
Encompassing six models in #7 through #12 weights, LEGEND ELITE SALT is designed to maximize opportunity for all saltwater anglers via powerful and accurate fast-action tapers that are as satisfying to cast as they are to own.
Engineered and precision-crafted with all top St. Croix technologies, LEGEND ELITE SALT rods begin with an all-new matrix of premium SCIV and SCIII carbon materials. This means lighter and more responsive blanks with reduced swing weights and improved balance without sacrifice to strength or power. Coupling its highly refined actions with premium ergonomics and aesthetics, LEGEND ELITE SALT capitalizes on opportunity with fast-with-feel performance in any saltwater arena.
