Advanced anglers looking for fast-action performance over a wide range of modern fly-fishing techniques have a new choice. St. Croix Fly introduces Evos and its saltwater equivalent, Evos Salt – a pair of premium, high-performance rod series three years in the making that marry power with precision like never before.
Evos challenges the status quo of traditional fly-rod design and sets the bar for multi-technique performance. Conceived and delivered for anglers who make life decisions based on hatch charts, gage heights, and migration timing, Evos consists of 14 four-piece models ranging from line sizes #4 through #8.
Similarly, Evos Salt optimizes angler ability by delivering critical control in any saltwater environment — whether driving a hero cast into a relentless headwind or delicately delivering a surgical strike in impossibly calm conditions. Available in seven four-piece models covering critical #6 through #12 line sizes, Evos Salt gets the ghost in any saltwater situation.
Both series’ refined actions are exceptionally responsive through a wide range of casting distances, insanely accurate, and provide an unprecedented balance of punch and precision. Fast enough to deliver immense lifting capability, mesmerizing loop stability, and maximum line speed for challenging conditions, Evos and Evos Salt compliment their speed and power with intimate feel and feedback ideal for technical angling situations that demand perfect presentation.
Fast-action Evos and fast/salt-action Evos Salt tapers are both powered by a next-level carbon fiber matrix and exclusive Mito Graphene technology. A single-atom-thick layer of carbon, graphene is the stiffest and strongest material known to science. Unlike other fly rods built with pre-applied graphene in the carbon pre-preg, Evos and Evos Salt utilize a first-ever functionalized graphene. It’s applied in-house at St. Croix at total weight-loading accuracies within .01 percent.
The process fits within St. Croix’s vertical-control philosophy, affords extreme consistency and ultimately delivers anglers with more of the benefits graphene can provide. These include dramatically faster recovery, increased torsional rigidity, and significantly improved strength-to-weight ratios.
