For anglers who demand peak performance when fly fishing for bass, the St. Croix Tannic Bass Fly Rod series is your answer. These rods are specifically designed to excel in challenging bass habitats, offering the perfect blend of power and precision. You'll experience effortless line control and highly animated presentations thanks to their technique-specific tapers and stiff tips. Built with uncompromising durability, they maintain a balanced feel and comfortable ergonomics, even during long days on the water.

The Tannic Bass series stands out with its ability to handle aggressive lines, provide rapid tip recovery, and deliver incredible line speed – everything a dedicated bass angler needs. Whether you're delicate-feeding smallmouth with crayfish patterns, pounding heavy cover with deer hair frogs, or chasing powerful stripers and peacock bass, these rods are up to the task.

St. Croix's commitment to innovation is evident in the rod's construction, featuring a blend of high-modulus SCIV and SCIII carbons, mid-modulus SCII carbon, and cutting-edge MITO Graphene for radical hoop strength and accuracy. Proprietary technologies like Integrated Poly Curve (IPC), Advanced Reinforcing Technology (ART), Fortified Resin System (FRS), and Taper Enhancement Technology (TET) ensure a rod that's not only incredibly strong and efficient but also incredibly responsive.

Finished with high-quality components like Fuji K Series titanium stripper guides, a custom aluminum reel seat, and a full wells super-grade cork handle, each Tannic Bass rod is a testament to St. Croix's precision craftsmanship in Park Falls, Wisconsin, USA, and is backed by a 15-year warranty.

TECHNOLOGY GROUP

• Advanced materials matrix consisting of high-modulus high-strain SCIV and SCIII carbons, plus premium-quality mid-modulus SCII carbon
• MITO Graphene unlocks the power of hybrid polymer materials and delivers radical hoop strength, optimized loop stability and absolute accuracy
• Integrated Poly Curve (IPC) mandrel tooling provides improved energy transfer, increased strength, and mega-efficient rod recovery
• Advanced Reinforcing Technology (ART) utilizes an exotic carbon fiber scrim that adds a magnitude of strength (10x) with virtually no increase in blank diameter or weight. ART significantly increases hoop strength and reduces ovaling under severe loads while also supporting Slim-Profile Ferrule (SPF) designs
• Fortified Resin System (FRS) technology combines a fortified super resin with computer-operated curing ovens delivering precise temperature and time management throughout all stages of blank curing. FRS prevents micro-buckling, keeping carbon fibers in alignment and resulting in blanks tested to be 33% stronger than those built with standard resins and curing methods
• Taper Enhancement Technology (TET) incorporates precision-cut, curved blank patterns from state-of-the-art computer pattern-cutting machines. Curved TET patterns fit and lay up more precisely on IPC mandrels, resulting in stronger and more consistent actions with improved feel
• Slim-Profile Ferrule (SPF) design adds herculean strength with minimal added weight
