At the heart of every Rogue V model is Matrix Composite, an all-new material born from St. Croix's relentless pursuit of strength without compromise. This proprietary blend of woven E-glass, premium SCII carbon, and ART scrim is precision-balanced with St. Croix's proven FRS (Fortified Resin System), TET (Taper Enhancement Technology), and ART (Advanced Reinforcing Technology). Together, these technologies create blanks that are among the strongest and most durable in St. Croix's history. Matrix Composite accomplishes all this without increasing blank diameter, sacrificing sensitivity, or adding unnecessary weight. This advanced construction yields rods that are lighter, more responsive, and more powerful, giving anglers the confidence to handle anything.

All models come equipped with K-style, tangle-free guide trains made from tough stainless steel, favored by anglers for their line-control performance. The Alconite guide rings offer exceptional strength and durability while being noticeably lighter than traditional SiC rings. For rock-solid reel attachment, each rod is built with nylon and stainless-steel reel seats featuring dual locking nuts. Ergonomically contoured, modified split-grip handles made from premium EVA foam help reduce fatigue, making these lightweight, well-balanced rods a pleasure to fish with all day. The Rogue V Slow Pitch Series is outfitted with EVA/composite-cork butt caps for added comfort and control.
