TOMMY MARTIN SIGNATURE SERIES
Tommy Martin Signature Series
Designed by BASSMASTER Classic Champion Tommy Martin, these rods are built with a proprietary blend of Hi-Performance graphite and S-glass. MHP believes that when these two materials are properly combined, it produces a rod that delivers extraordinary performance. Each rod designed by Tommy delivers an action that is designed to present a specific bait type, allow you get a solid hook and fight the fish all the way to the boat.
Tommy Martin says, "You won't lose 'em on these rods." Available in ### models from 6’8” to 7’9”, medium to heavy power, moderate to moderate-fast action, and 8 to 20 lb line weight.

St. Croix Legend glass casting rod
St Croix LEGEND® Glass Casting Rods
Out with graphite and in with 100% fibreglass. S-Glass uses a highly refined fibre that’s lighter and stronger than your old man’s fibreglass. A natural fit for anglers using treble hooked lures like crankbaits, it’s better suited to keeping a fish hooked up and helps prevent setting a hook too fast on topwater lures. These one-piece, moderate action rods are available in four models ranging from 6’10” to 7’11” in length, medium to medium-heavy power, line weights of 8 to 25, and rod weights of 4.9 to 5.8 oz.
