St. Croix Imperial made in USA

[Mwo10mwo]

Hey Everyone,

I have the opportunity to pick up a new St. Croix imperial rod for around 200 bucks. I could either get a 9ft 5wt or a 9ft 6wt. As of now, I currently have a 9ft 5wt Orvis encounter rod. The rod is definitely better than me at this point, but I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the St. Croix Imperial and if the deal I can get it for is too good to pass up! I have read some good reviews on the old ones, but the new ones seem to have minimal reviews.

Thanks!

-Michael

I have a 2019 St. Croix Imperial 7'3wt that I love! It cost $260 then, they're about $400 now. Jump on that opportunity!

I’m certainly no rod expert but have an early 2000s Pro Graphite 4 wt that is still the rod that gets used the most over 2 Orvis Clearwaters fwiw. It was their entry level rod at the time. Sounds like a good deal

Hon6wt. It's a nice rod. You'll have more range if you already have a 5wt
