St. Croix Connect 9' 6-Weight Fly Rod & Reel Outfit | Trout & Smallmouth Bass
The St. Croix Connect 9' 6-weight fly rod is a versatile medium-fast action rod for smallmouth bass and larger trout. It has enough power to cast bass flies up to size 6 while still handling trout flies through size 14. This makes it a good choice for light smallmouth bass fishing in the East, larger trout streams in the West, and medium-sized stocked trout streams closer to home.
The 9' length provides good reach and line control for both trout and bass fishing. The medium-fast action makes the rod easy to cast while providing the power needed for streamers, nymphs, dry flies, and larger bass flies. For anglers looking for a versatile 6-weight fly rod outfit at a reasonable price, the St. Croix Connect is a very good choice.
