Legend Ultra Description
St. Croix Legend Ultra
Preparation is everything. Fuel, a couple dozen Royal Wulffs and your best poker face are mandatory. A big bag of partially hydrogenated, powdered-sugar-covered energy biscuits, and coffee so thick you have to spoon it out of the thermos, finishes things off. With that combination you can storm right through lunch without setting your Legend Ultra® fly rod down for even a minute. The Legend Ultra's high-modulus SCIV graphite with IPC® technology is graced with slim-profile ferrules and the tastiest components available. These are the rods we completely redesigned and upgraded last year without touching the price. As if they weren't the best deal in fly fishing as it was.
Most high-performance fly rods are designed using compound tapers that employ three or four measured transition points - where the slope of the taper changes - along the blank. Those transition points can create points of weakness on the blank. IPC Tooling Technology, the first process of its kind, creates tapers that are a continuous curve from the tip to the butt of the rod, effectively eliminating potential weakening transition points. Cast one and you'll instantly be impressed with the way these fast-action rods load line quickly and toss tight loops without sacrificing casting precision. They have slim-profile ferrules and high-quality cork handles. Reel seats sport nickel/silver hardware with bird's-eye maple inserts or machined aluminum with fighting butts.
