The Most Versatile 9 Foot 9 Weight Fly Rod For Florida Keys Fishing

The Most Versatile 9 Foot 9 Weight Fly Rod For Florida Keys Fishing

St Croix is known the world over for producing some of the highest quality rods on Earth. Did you know that they also produce some of the best fly rods?

The new St Croix Sole is a unique idea in fly rods. It is a 2 piece fly rod, but the breakdown is unusual. The tip section is where the rod breaks down and the rest of the rod remains a one piece. This is a cool concept for the fisherman that fishes both fly and spin because when you break down the rod, the one piece portion is the same length as all the spinning rods. It is easily transported along with all the other rods.

A spinning reel like this has to also be affordable because charter guides are going to routinely buy a bare minimum of 6 and most guides have about 20 in rotation.

I'm guessing 24kg... Awesome "on the go" fitness tool! I have a few of my favorite kettlebell workouts, could you post one of yours?"
