Many rod builders have been contacting us with questions about our relationship with St. Croix and asking where they can get their favorite blank models. Here are some key points that should clarify things:
-
Rod Geeks is a brand under the St. Croix portfolio of brands which includes St. Croix Rod, St. Croix Fly, and Rod Geeks Blanks. Rod Geeks blanks are crafted in the same two state-of-the-art factories in Fresnillo, Mexico and Park Falls, Wisconsin – both owned and operated by St. Croix – where St. Croix rods are crafted. Rod Geeks Carbon 5 and Carbon 3 blanks are made in Park Falls, while all other Rod Geeks blanks are currently made in Fresnillo.
-
Rod Geeks blanks are the same as St. Croix blanks. We use the same designs, same materials, same mandrels, same production processes, but we market them as Rod Geeks blanks.
- We will be adding more blanks to our lineup. Rod Geeks has always been responsive to the requests of our rod builders. New blanks will be added to the Rod Geeks portfolio each year. Some of these blanks will be made in Park Falls and others will be made in Fresnillo. Have suggestions for a model not currently in the Rod Geeks lineup? Email us at info@rodgeeks.com and let us know!
