St. Croix Rayfin Rods - New For 2026

St. Croix RAYFIN Series Technology Suite

SCIV+ Carbon
RAYFIN rods are built on technique-optimized SCIV+ blanks, which are a hybrid of SCIV and SCVI carbon materials. SCIV is a high-modulus high-strain carbon fiber material producing extremely light and sensitive rods. SCVI is an exotic, super-high modulus high-strain carbon fiber material that adds power with minimal weight. The two materials are combined in varying proportions and locations in each specific RAYFIN model to optimize technique-driven actions and performance.

Integrated Poly Curve (IPC)
RAYFIN’s IPC blanks are rolled on mandrels with one continuous taper. The elimination of transition points means more uniform wall thicknesses from tip to butt and, ultimately, rods with smoother actions, increased strength, and greater sensitivity.

Taper Enhancement Technology (TET)
A dramatic departure from traditional straight-line patterns, RAYFIN rod layups begin with curved patterns, precision cut on computer-controlled pattern-cutting machines. When combined with IPC mandrels, these unique patterns result in extreme consistency and improved sensitivity.

Advanced Reinforcing Technology (ART)
RAYFIN rods feature ART – an exotic carbon fiber material that adds a magnitude 10X of strength with virtually no increase in blank diameter or weight. ART significantly improves hoop strength and reduces cross-sectional deformation under severe load.

Fortified Resin System (FRS)
RAYFIN rods feature a fortified super resin combined with state-of-the-art computer-operated curing ovens that manage all stages of the critical curing cycle. This keeps carbon fibers in proper alignment and prevents microbuckling that can otherwise create weak spots.
