When it comes to understanding the latest sub-surface fishing techniques, few people know more than Kelly Galloup – which is why we asked him to help us develop the best-selling Bank Robber™ and the new-for-2012 High Stick Drifter. The Bank Robber is simply the ultimate streamer-fishing rod for chucking big weighted flies effortlessly but with the precision of a Tomahawk missile. The new High Stick Drifter is designed specifically for today’s advanced nymph fishing methods. They feature a special lightweight tip made possible by using high modulus/high strain SCV graphite with NSi resin (featuring the 3M’s nano Matrix Resin) and a carbonmatte scrim. This unique tip reduces angler fatigue when the rod is held high for long periods of time, while emphasizing sensitivity for better strike detection. And the balance? Incredible. Both series feature SCVI graphite in lower sections for added power with reduced weight and St. Croix’s proprietary ART™ and IPC® technology – making them the most technologically advanced fly rods in existence. Can these rods change your life? Yea. We think so.
