St. Croix Rod Renews WTU Sponsorship

St. Croix fishing rods, makers of the Best Rods on Earth, has renewed their Whitetails Unlimited sponsorship, said WTU President Jeff Schinkten. "Every time we are able to feature St. Croix fishing rods at a WTU event, the crowd loves it," said Schinkten. "It's no surprise, because while our members are passionate deer hunters, more than 80 percent of them also fish – and no one makes better rods than St. Croix."

St. Croix Rod is a family-owned and managed manufacturer of high-performance fishing rods headquartered in Park Falls, Wisconsin, with a 65-year history of manufacturing their products in the U.S. Utilizing proprietary technologies, St. Croix controls every step of the rod-making process from conception and design to manufacturing and inspection. Founded in 1948 to manufacture jointed bamboo fishing poles for a Minneapolis hardware store chain, St. Croix has grown to become the largest manufacturer of fishing rods in North America.
