Victory is Complete |
17 all-new bass-centric Victory rod models to debut at ICAST 2021, expanding the series that helps bass anglers win to 25 total models |
PARK FALLS, Wisc. – The Victory cries of bass anglers were heard far and wide in March of this year, when St. Croix Rod – handcrafters of the Best Rods on Earth® – announced availability of the first “Great Eight” models in its landmark Victory Series. Victory came at a time when anglers – and our fishing industry – needed it most. “The new Victory Series is conceived to help bass anglers achieve their personal goals and earn their victories, whatever they may be,” says St. Croix CEO, Scott Forristall, referring to the technique-specific, American-made bass series that delivers new levels of performance in a mid-level retail price range of $180-$260 with a 15-year transferrable warranty. “These exciting new rods are helping us fulfill our promise to anglers by delivering an even greater choice of high-performance bass tools. Crafted right here in Park Falls, Wisconsin, USA, they combine all our current technologies with a brand new SCII+ material to give any bass angler distinct advantages on the water at an exceptional price. Now, we’re announcing the next 17 Victory rod models that complete this comprehensive series.” |
The NEW Victory 17 expands the Victory series to 25 total models, giving bass enthusiasts of all levels unprecedented choice in selecting the proper tools for a complete range of presentations, from bombing hair jigs and spy baits, to ChatterBaits, to heaving and retrieving 8-ounce swimbaits. It’s all there in this complete and balanced assortment of high-performance, technology-laden, American-crafted rods that cost a fraction of other “elite-level” rods in the marketplace. |

Victory rods are crafted with an all-new material known as SCIII+, a hybrid of St. Croix’s advanced SCIII carbon and exotic SCVI carbon. “In itself, SCIII is an exceptional material for building fishing rods,” says St. Croix Product Manager, Ryan Teach. “It’s a high-modulus high-strain carbon fiber that produces sensitive and lightweight rods with excellent durability, and can be found in our Avid, latest-generation Mojo Bass, Mojo Musky and other popular St. Croix rod series. SCVI is a super high-modulus high-strain carbon fiber that’s too stiff to be used as a primary material but can be efficiently combined in selective amounts and strategic locations with other materials – SCIII in this case – to add power while reducing overall weight. At the same time, durability and performance are further enhanced with our ARTTM (Advanced Reinforcing Technology), FRS (Fortified Resin System), TET (Taper Enhancement Technology) and IPC® (Integrated Poly Curve) technologies. These new technique-specific bass rods truly have it all, at a price that’s accessible for a wide variety of anglers.” |

While lightweight performance and extreme durability are hallmarks across the entirety of this new series, Teach says the construction of each technique-specific model is customized to excel in its intended use. “The exact amount and location of SCVI material is optimized on each rod in the series. Each one is different and unique,” he says. “For the angler, that means each rod has the right power exactly where it’s needed, with a correctly balanced tip that supports the desired technique while minimizing rod torque. And it isn’t just the blanks that are unique,” Teach continues. ”Handles, guide spacing, and even hook-keeper designs are customized and optimized on each of these rods.” |
