I just had a great customer experience with St. Croix rods.
I bought an Imperial Rod back in 2001. Caught a lot of fish and made a lot of great memories with this versatile 4-piece rod.
Yesterday I broke the tip. St. Croix told me today they will replace the rod with a new one - all I have to do is pay for shipping.
So, if you are looking for a great value rod, with an awesome warranty:

But all-in-all, this is a rod that proves you can now get premium performance in a fly rod without having to fork out the same amount of money as you would for a full set of new SUV tires.
Not expensive. Works great.
