For musky and pike fly anglers who spend long hours casting massive flies, the St. Croix Tannic Musky/Pike Fly Rod is engineered to deliver peak performance with minimal fatigue. These rods boast powerful, precise tapers that effortlessly manage heavy sinking lines and enormous flies, while their robust tips provide maximum fly animation to entice strikes.

What truly sets the Tannic Musky/Pike apart is its construction. St. Croix's advanced materials, including high-modulus SCIV and SCIII carbons, mid-modulus SCII carbon, and groundbreaking MITO Graphene, ensure extreme strength and durability without sacrificing a light, balanced feel. This means you can cast all day with confidence and comfort.

Every detail is musky-focused, from the ceramic-insert titanium and stainless guides—which resist wear from tungsten-coated lines—to the custom Cactus Cork handles. These handles are designed for superior comfort and control, making casting, strip-setting, and executing figure-eights more effective and less tiring. The Tannic Musky/Pike is built to deliver total satisfaction on the water with its optimized performance and unique aesthetics.

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) design
• 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
