Let’s be honest shall we, man has been using technology to getout of doing chores and the like for centuries. So here at St. Croixwe have no compunction whatsoever about using SCV and SCVI

graphite and Area 51-inspired technologies like ART,™ IPC® andNSi (Nano Silica) resin – a 3M technology (3M™ Matrix Resin) –to help anglers make the most of their time on the water. No regrets about using premium, top-grade components and ashowroom-quality forest-green pearl finish on each and everyrod, either. Zero. None. Not a one.

TECHNOLOGY SHOULD ALWAYS SERVE MAN, ESPECIALLY IN THE PURSUIT OF

LIKE FISHING.A HIGHER PURPOSE,

technology that combine premium Pac Bay Minima micro guideswith a small stripper guide for casting precision that borders onthe unfair. All that casting could take a toll on your hands, but theRage features our incredible neoprene skin handle that serves upunmatched comfort – pushing back that quitting hour as muchas possible. Equally sweet, the neoprene grip actually improveswhen it gets wet. Yes sir, the new Rage is more than ready whenthe hook setting goes round the clock.

ONLY 57% OF WORKING AMERICANS USE THEIR FULL ALLOTMENT OF VACATION DAYS. BET 100% OF THEM

DON’T FISH.

42

The other 43% that “get it” know just what to do with down

time: fish, fish, and oh yeah…fish some more. Of course that

opens up all kinds of possibilities anywhere there’s a lake, river

or promising stream. Here’s where a line of rods like the

Triumph® pays off huge. Made with SCII graphite and available

in a variety of actions, Triumph rods deliver more value per

cast than any other rod going, especially for those of us who

live to fish – and, at least for the time being, work to live.
