PARK FALLS, WIS. The world’s oceans are diverse. So are saltwater anglers. So are regional saltwater fisheries.

Meet St. Croix’s next generation of North American saltwater fishing rods. Crafted from an all-new material we call Matrix Composite, ROGUE V Boat rods are the strongest and most durable rods St. Croix has ever built – in any category.

Matrix Composite – working in concert with key St. Croix technologies like FRS, TET, and ART – ensures these new levels of strength and durability come with no sacrifices to blank diameter, sensitivity, or weight. A blend of proprietary materials – woven E-glass, SCII carbon, and ART scrim – Matrix Composite delivers an unprecedented combination of power, durability, lightweight and balanced handling, and value.

In addition to first-ever St. Croix Matrix Composite construction, all ROGUE V rods feature angler-favored line-taming K-style guide trains in durable stainless steel. Alconite rings yield extreme strength and hardness for durable performance with heavy braided lines. Nylon and stainless-steel reel seats provide uncompromised reel security with dual locking nuts.

Contoured, modified-split-grip, premium EVA handles deliver fatigue-fighting angler ergonomics, making fishing these light and balanced rods even more enjoyable, while non-marring rubber gimbles lock rods securely in rocket launchers, rod holders, and fighting belts and harnesses.

Built for battle, these 20 new conventional and spinning ROGUE V Boat rods offer standout, premium performance at a retail price ($220 to $255) that makes them accessible to a variety of anglers – a variety that’s just as wide as the breadth of nearshore saltwater applications in which they’ve been designed to excel.
