From the sunburn on the back of your neck to the grains of sand at the bottom of your sheets, you are a fisherman and there"s really no getting away from it. Not now. Not never. Might as well accept the fact that you"re destined to spend life bound to a St. Croix® Triumph® Surf rod. Made from SCII graphite and appointed with incredibly durable fittings, they fish faithfully season after season and are no worse for wear. Still, not a bad idea to give them a good rinse every so often.
