The Next Gen of St. Croix Legend Tournament Walleye Rods

The St. Croix Legend Tournament Walleye series of rods were first introduced in 2005, and rapidly earned a large following from walleye anglers seeking technique-specific walleye tools. These anglers wanted a rod made in the USA using premium materials and technologies. And St. Croix obliged to their needs, in the years since then, the Legend Tournament Walleye Series has set new standards, establishing what a walleye rod should be and how it should work. Now St. Croix is releasing their newest generation of this series of walleye rods, the newest iteration of the standard that other walleye rods try for.

These iconic blue walleye rods have been made even lighter, stronger, and more comfortable to fish all day. Even after all that, offer even more technique-optimized models that enrich your experience of walleye fishing. The improved balance, performance, and capability in any technique or presentation make for a great experience on the water.

This was all due to three exhaustive years of research, development, and testing to create the most comprehensive, high-performance walleye-specific fishing series ever. St. Croix has dramatically reengineered and expanded the series for 2023, with the next generation of the Legend Tournament Walleye Series including 17 technique-specific models handcrafted in the USA.
