at cabelas online Summary:
Seems like a great rod. 8'6" 5 wt. 4 pcs. Very similar feel to a friends $400 + sage. feels like an expensive rod for a reasonable price. However, it may have been the anglers fault (me), but i had the rod snap about 6 inches from the tip without putting too much pressure on it. love the lifetime warranty. hope it doesn't happen again! Customer Service:
Just sent back my imperial for replacement. Customer service was prompt and the lady was very helpful! Similar Products Used:

I've recently owned both the 8' and the 8'6" model 5 wts and I can tell you there is a world of difference between the two. The shorter 8' is much stiffer in the lower portion and is much more difficult to load up with a 5 wt line but a 6 wt is much easier. The 8'6" model is more of an actual 5 wt and it is a much better rod. I only wish I could get my hands on the 2 piece 9' model to compare them to. Great rod for the money. Customer Service:
Brother in law says they are excellent Similar Products Used:

at Angler's Covey Summary:
St. Croix has definetly put together an exceptional rod with value and cost in mind for us budget fisherman.This rod easily rivals many 3 and 4 hundred dollar rods.Which is great why in the hell would you spend that much anyway?When St. Croix makes it easy to get into fly fishing without taking out a loan to get quality gear.I have test casted 30-40 other rods and the Imperial is the most balanced and sensitive rod I have encountered. And it is exploding with features.SCII blanks quality cork handles, uplocking walnut reel seats,it looks as good as it performs!!So go ahead waste your hard earned bucks on a merely equal rod when it costs twice as much.And then head down to your favorite water hole and I bet most of the anglers choose this rod over the sage or orvis models.Take it from me I did alot of research in how I was going to spend my money. It was a tough desicion but I know I made the right in the end,value quality and performance. Customer Service:
