Customer Reviews

Previous feedback  .

Comments: Good build quality. Feels good in the hand. Used the medium-light with a Stradic 4000 - ok balance - one reel lighter would balance better. I used this for Bone fish - plenty strong, and would also work for light permit. I really like this rod! I may need a heavier weight for heavier fish.

From: Erik: 11/23/22

Comments: I recently purchased three St Croix multiple piece rods for a trip into Minnesotas Basswood Lake (the motorized portion). One of the rods was an Avid Trek ATS76MF3 and it performed flawlessly while fighting and landing multiple 3 to 4 1/2 lb smallmouth bass. The rod performed like a one piece rod without any discernible flat spots whatsoever. The included case is quite nice but would be enhanced by being just a little larger to accommodate the large sized line guide. I've had very few problems with St Croix rods over the years but on two occasions when I did have problems they were handled in a very professional and equitable manner. I would highly recommend this rod.

From: Greg: WV 8/1/22

Comments: In 4 months I have gone through 4 avid trek 3 piece rods. I love that they pack down easy to hike into the river. But as far as quality goes I would advise anyone to avoid this rod. I have had 4 rods break at the tip on the eyelid joint. Each rod lasted about one month if I was lucky. For the price of this rod I would reccomend you avoid it or you will be dissatisfied just like I was with a broken tip on the river. Ontop of that the so called 15 year warranty means nothing because they charge you $50 dollars plus shipping to replace the top piece of the 3 piece rod that keeps snapping. I have owed St Croix rods my whole life never had a problem but this avid trek 3 piece is by far the worst quality rod I have ever seen them make do yourself a favor and don't buy this unless you like dealing with warranty claims over and over again.

From: Unknown: 12/31/21

Comments: I purchased the 7' ml to mainly target smaller inshore species and bass fishing. I haven't had much success with the workmanship of  St. Crioix's Avids. I recently returned several due defects and poor quality control issues. However, I am extremely pleased with the Avid Trek's build and quality. Definitely looks and feel like a product proudly made in the USA. No sloppy workmanship and everything is immaculate. The guides look awesome and very durable. The rod has a very soft tip to throw light baits, but good backbone to land fish. The only negative is it lacks the connection dots to help align the guides straight when assembling. That should have been a no brainer, especially on a 3pc rod. It would have been extremely helpful out on the water. Overall, I'm a happy customer, and the Avid Trek exemplifies St. Croix's pursuit of building the world's best rods. From : Charlie: DC 3/16/21

The Best Rods on Earth Day from St. Croix

From St. Croix:

PARK FALLS, WIS. (April 22, 2024) – Along the picturesque and historic Flambeau River lies the small city of Park Falls, Wisconsin, population 2,410. Like many other sparsely settled communities dotting the north woods, Park Falls has its roots in the logging trades but, today, derives its economic viability largely from tourism – offering goods and services in support of the millions of individuals who travel to the region for its ample and varied outdoor-recreational opportunities.   Fishing is near the top of the list of these opportunities, so, it’s fitting that Park Falls is also the home of St. Croix Rod – handcrafters of the Best Rods on Earth for the past 75 years.

“St. Croix exists to give anglers what we call the upper hand, which is a better and more-rewarding experience on the water doing what they love,” says St. Croix Vice President of Operations, Jason Brunner, a 27-year employee of the family-owned, American company. “That promise to anglers certainly means delivering performance and reliability, but to those of us here at St. Croix, it also means doing it in responsible ways that align with one of the most foundational aspects of recreational fishing, and that’s environmental stewardship.”   To Brunner’s point, our North American fisheries research, conservation, and management has been almost entirely funded by recreational anglers for most of the past century. Self-imposed excise taxes on fishing gear along with fishing-license fees provide the lion’s share of this revenue stream, but many individual anglers, fishing organizations, and fishing companies themselves establish their own projects and programs designed to further the health and wealth of natural resources upon which recreational angling depends.   “Just as we’re looking every day to identify new materials, technologies, and processes that improve the quality and performance of our fishing products, we’re constantly looking at ways to reduce our ecological footprint,” says Brunner. “From simple things like eliminating Styrofoam coffee cups to more involved initiatives like changing the way we paint our rods, we’re keeping our promise to anglers by increasing the quality of their fishing experiences while reducing environmental impacts.”   Biodegradable Rod Bags and Packing Materials   St. Croix handcrafts hundreds of thousands of fishing rods every year, and all of those rods must be wrapped to protect them throughout distribution. Instead of traditional plastic, St. Croix uses poly bags (and cello-wrap packing material) made from natural and renewable resources like sugar cane, potato starch, and other biologically sourced polymers. These eco-friendly packing materials are both biodegradable and compostable.

Electrostatic Painting   The poly bags described above help to protect the beautiful and durable finish that goes onto every St. Croix rod, many of which are sprayed in a paint booth. Excess paint particles containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are collected by a vacuum system and then caught in filters which are disposed of and replaced. “A little over two years ago, we moved to an electrostatic paint process,” Brunner says. “By applying mild, opposing electronic charges to our paint and to the rod blanks being painted, we’ve been able to greatly increase our efficiency, meaning we’re using a lot less paint to begin with, and generating far fewer excess paint particles that must be disposed of.”

Reduced Scrap   Beyond paint, St. Croix uses a variety of raw materials to craft the Best Rods on Earth. By improving practices and procedures over the past two years, St. Croix has reduced its overall scrap – excess raw materials that are either discarded or recycled – by more than 20%. “That’s significant, and we’re looking for ways to increase that number,” Brunner says. “Our computer-operated precision pattern-cutting machines maximize the number of patterns that can be created from a single roll of carbon fiber pre-preg material and are just one example of how we are minimizing waste.”

Enhanced Recycling   In addition to reducing the amount of scrap and material waste throughout the factory, St. Croix has an aggressive recycling program. “We use a polypropylene tape product to wrap our rod blanks during the curing process,” says Brunner. “We have a partnership with a local Wisconsin company that collects and recycles these materials every two weeks or so.”

Acetone is another product which St. Croix recycles. “We use quite a bit of acetone in the factory,” Brunner says. “It’s essential to the cleaning and decontamination of our mandrels and our painting equipment. We invested in an in-house acetone recycler about five years ago, which has cut the amount of virgin acetone we need to purchase and use by about 50%.”   All in 75 Years’ Work   Just as St. Croix relies on anglers to purchase the Best Rods on Earth , anglers rely on St. Croix and other fishing manufacturers to do their parts to conserve and protect the natural resources upon which all recreational fishing depends. But that doesn’t automatically happen. In fact, due to continued economic globalization, it’s happening less and less.   “As an American company that’s been owned by the same family for the past 47 years and been making fishing rods in the same community for 75 years, we’ve learned to see and appreciate the bigger picture,” Brunner says. “That means being accountable to our anglers, to our community, to our industry, and to ourselves. We make our rods in our own factories with our own people; we sell them to our dealers; and our dealers sell them to our anglers. We put our name on every rod… we don’t have anyone or anything to hide behind. Our manufacturing model is based on controlling everything we can – including our environmental footprint – so we can continue to make premium fishing rods that increase our anglers’ control on the water.

About  St. Croix Rod Headquartered in Park Falls, Wisconsin, St. Croix has been proudly crafting the “Best Rods on Earth” for over 75 years. Combining state-of-the-art manufacturing processes with skilled craftsmanship, St. Croix is the only major producer to still build rods entirely from design through manufacturing. The company remains family-owned and operates duplicate manufacturing facilities in Park Falls and Fresnillo, Mexico. With popular trademarked series such as Legend®, Legend Xtreme®, Avid®, Premier®, Imperial®, Triumph® and Mojo, St. Croix is revered by all types of anglers from around the world.

Vodka Museum Tour with transport (excursion only)

Lena, our guide in Moscow was excellent. She was very knowledgable and could answer any question we had for her. We liked that she could pick up on our interests and take us places we might not have thought of to go. When we realized that one of the places we had chosen to see would probably not be that interesting to us, she was able to arrange entry to the Diamond Fund and the Armoury for us. Riding the Metro with Lena was a real adventure and a lot of fun. In Saint Petersburg we found Anna well versed in the history of the Tsars and in the Hermitage collection. Arkady in Veliky Novgorod was a very good guide and answered all of our questions with ease. Novgorod was perhaps a long way to go for a day trip, but we did enjoy it. Vasily was a great driver to have and kept us safe with good humour and skill. We enjoyed ourselves so much, my daughter says she is already planning to return. We would both have no hesistation to recommend ExpresstoRussia to anyone we know.

Just wanted to let you know that My grandson Bruno and I couldn´t have been more pleased with our week in Moscow (6/15 - 6/21). We were absolutely enchanted with the whole experience, including getting lost a couple of times in the Metro during our free time. Although both our guides (both Eleanas) were excellent, I would particularly commend the first one (she took us to the Tatiakov, the KGB tour, and to that beautiful cemetery where so many great Russian artists, authors, composers, musicians, militarists, and politicians are buried). Her knowledge is encyclopedic; and her understanding of today´s Russia as a product of its past was, for us, truly enlightening. I will be taking another tour in Russia, with my wife, within the next two or three years. I will be in touch with you when the time comes. Meanwhile, I will refer you to other potential visitors to Russia as I meet them.

Moscow, a City Like No Other

Moscow is Russia’s largest city with a population of between 12 and 13 million. It is also Europe’s largest city and when you visit Moscow, you can feel it. The layout and architecture of the city is eclectic, ranging from crooked, ancient streets and alleyways to wide, bustling boulevards, from medieval churches to Stalin skyscrapers and to modern, glass buildings towering over everything and of course in the center of it all is the Kremlin and the magnificent Red Square. Moscow is also home to a fantastic, efficient and very beautiful metro system – each station having its own special design. In fact, Express to Russia’s Moscow metro tours and excursions are some of our most popular attractions that we offer. On our Moscow tours, you will see this and more.

Moscow Tours centering on Russian History

Moscow has a long and interesting history and has been the capital of Russia in many of its different iterations – capital of the Grand Duchy of Moscow , the Russian Empire and of course the Soviet Union (who could ever forget the Soviet Union?). Moscow, was founded in the 12th century by Prince Yuri Dolgaruki (Yuri of the long arms – he really did have long arms!). From that time on, it was home to the Russian Tsars until Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg in 1703. The city has survived invasions and sieges from the Mongols, the Tartars, the Poles, Lithuanians and Napoleon but has always persevered. Our Moscow tours will enlighten you on this great history and give you insights into Muscovites and their unique culture. Our Moscow tours show you what the city is like today but also brings to life the past. Moscow never seems to sleep and is bursting with energy. A Moscow tour with Express to Russia is truly the best way of getting to know Russia’s largest and most vibrant city.

Frequently Asked Questions From Our Travelers

What is the best time to visit moscow.

Any time of year is fine depending on what you plan to do. Summertime is pleasantly warm, ideal for exploring the city and its vibrant atmosphere, but Moscow will be much busier and accommodation is more expensive. Winter can be quite cold but beautiful nonetheless, and this is unproblematic if you intend to spend most of your trip in museums and galleries. There are also various festivals and events organised throughout the year. For more information about the best time to visit, read our guide

How many days are enough in Moscow?

If you plan your itinerary strategically and aren’t averse to a packed schedule, you can cover Moscow’s main sights over a long weekend. Most popular attractions are in the city centre, and the Moscow Metro allows you to cover much ground in a small amount of time. Ensure that your accommodation is fairly central and book tickets in advance, so that you can make the most of your days. For an informative and well-organised day out, check out our Moscow day tours with options to suit all interests.

Do they speak English in Moscow?

As Russia’s capital city, tourists are well accommodated in Moscow. There should be English-speaking staff in restaurants, bars, hotels, shops and attractions in tourist hotspots, and there are also English-speaking tourist police. Transport services have English translations on their maps and English announcements via intercom; alternatively, order taxis from the Yandex Taxi app (Russian Uber), though it’s unlikely that your taxi driver will speak English. If you get stuck and cannot communicate, it’s fine to use Google Translate.

Is it safe to travel to Moscow?

It is no less safe to travel to Moscow than to any European city if you exercise common sense and look after your belongings. As with every city some regions can be more unsavoury than others, but no tourist attractions are located there. The traffic in Moscow is notorious, so exercise caution when crossing roads. Do not take unlicensed taxis; book in advance or take public transport, which is widespread and perfectly safe. If you encounter any problems, look for the special tourist police who can help you. For more information, read our guide about staying safe in Russia .
