St. Croix Fly Introduces Premium Warmwater Rods

St. Croix Fly Premium Warmwater Fly Rods

St. Croix Fly is introducing a new line of warmwater fly rods, targeted to bass and musky anglers.

From the Wisconsin fly rod maker: “New for 2026, species-specific TANNIC Series rods are the latest example of our commitment to designing and crafting premium fly rods that elevate performance in targeted pursuits. TANNIC BASS and TANNIC MUSKY/PIKE series rods leverage every bit of knowledge and technology we’ve garnered over the past 77 years to give warmwater-predator anglers the upper hand.”

More about the Tannic Bass series:

Fly fishing for bass requires specialized rods: technique-specific, fast-action tapers that master aggressive lines, feature stiff tips for highly animated presentations and can lift and carry large amounts of line are a must. Uncompromising durability, balanced swing weights and angler-friendly ergonomics are also required. Combining bass-centric lengths and rod sizes with the progressive ergonomics, this new series delivers “line speed, tip recovery and line control like bass bums have never experienced.”

Tannic Bass Models:

• TCB690-4 / 6-weight, 9’, 4-piece, fast action / MSRP: $695
• TCB790-4 / 7-weight, 9’, 4-piece, fast action / MSRP: $695
• TCB810-4 / 8-weight, 8’10”, 4-piece, fast action / MSRP: $695
• TCB990-4 / 9-weight, 9’, 4-piece, fast action / MSRP: $695

More about the Tannic Musky/Pike series:

The Tannic Musky/Pike series powerful, dialed-in tapers that excel in carrying heavy sinking lines that can deliver massive morsels, plus hefty tips for maximum fly animation and strip-setting power. Advanced St. Croix materials and technologies combined with “MITO Graphene” also provide “extreme strength and durability” while maintaining light-in-the-hand feel and dream-state swing weights. The rod line also provides additional musky-focused performance details: ceramic-insert titanium and stainless-guides for increased wear resistance against tungsten coated lines and custom cactus cork handle designs that maximize angler comfort and casting control while casting, strip-setting and executing effective figure-eights and other finishing moves.

Tannic Musky/Pike Models:
