IMPERIAL FLY ROD

Build your quiver with a legend. For over sixty years, the Imperial® series has been a staple in the arsenals of anglers worldwide. Now in its eighth generation, this series represents the perfect union of tradition and technology. Precision crafted in Park Falls, Wisconsin, the Imperial USA delivers a powerful, fast-action performance that excels in both fresh and saltwater environments.

Built using a dynamic blend of high-modulus SCIV and premium SCII carbon, these rods feature St. Croix's exclusive Integrated Poly Curve (IPC) tooling for smooth energy transfer and the Fortified Resin System (FRS) for a 33% increase in blank strength. Whether you are chasing small-stream trout or heavy-hitting saltwater species, the Imperial USA offers the best value in American-made fly rods.

Pro-Tip: The Imperial USA is the "workhorse" of American rod manufacturing. It’s the perfect choice for the angler who wants a high-performance, USA-made rod but doesn't want to pay the $900+ price tag of flagship models.
