The St. Croix Imperial is crafted using a dynamic blend of high-modulus/high strain SCIV graphite and premium quality SCII graphite. They are lightweight, fast action fly rods designed to provide maximum performance and value.

Imperial rods in sizes 7, 8, 9 & 10 have up-locking machined-aluminum reel seats, aluminum-oxide stripper guides with black frames and hard chrome snake guides. Imperials in sizes 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 have up-locking, machined-aluminum reel seat with a rosewood insert. All Imperials come with a nylon-covered rod case with a divided polypropylene liner and are covered by St Croix's lifetime limited warranty.
