Behind the Carbon Curtain

 

Factory Tours reveal processes behind award-winning Legend Extreme, Avid Inshore, and more

 

 

Park Falls, WI (June 13, 2016) – Joey Fransway wanted to celebrate his son Josh’s graduation from high school in a memorable way. At the time, who knew the Cincinnati, Ohio pairing would find themselves making memories in Park Falls, Wisconsin, as the first customers to take St. Croix Rods’ Factory Tour.  

 

Yes, St. Croix extends a hearty welcome to the public to come experience in person how a tradition of handcrafting fuses with technology to create the American-made, “Best Rods on Earth”.  

Meanwhile, back on this maiden Factory Tour, Josh impressed St. Croix staff with his product knowledge. “Josh would see a bin filled with reel seats and then identify which rod model that particular accessory would go to,” gloated Joey. “And because of the visit, Josh now knows how all those parts come together.”

 

 

“But I guess his knowledge of St. Croix rods should really be no surprise. When he was a child, Josh used to watch me, and later help me, build custom rods. And St. Croix was the only brand of blank I ever used.”

 

Now’s your chance to experience firsthand the creation of “The Best Rods on Earth,” and see how progressive and proprietary technologies like IPC, TET, ART and FRS play in concert with homegrown handcrafting. Tours are offered daily, Monday through Friday, June 1st through September 30th, and then Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays October 1st through April 30th. St. Croix is closed on major holidays. Tours lasts approximately 90 minutes.

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: Not only will you be taking a walk through rod-crafting history, you’ll also get a glimpse of the future of fishing…
