I am considering a St. Croix Triumph series fly rod as a gift for my wife (its not a Fred Flintstone bowling ball gift, either. She loves fishing and wants to learn fly fishing. I want to get her a nice quality rod to start with). I have seen some good reviews of it based on quality to price ratio. Does anyone have an experiance with this rod?
Thanks,

Re: St Croix Triumph Seiries fly rod
The Triumph series and the Premier series are supposed to be identical. Built to the exact same specifications. The difference being the Premier is rolled, wrapped and finished here in the US. The Triumph is rolled, wrapped and finished overseas. Asia somewhere I believe.

Re: St Croix Triumph Seiries fly rod
I waggled one at the Sports Chalet store and was more impressed with it than a TFO Pro. Its quite light. Inexpensive. I think its composite graphite but I'm not sure how that material fits in the fly fishing world.
