Jim, you are correct about what the regs say about flyfishing, however, true flyfishing is where you use a 'flyrod', not a baitcaster. We do use splitshot on the line sometimes, but usually only if we're using a dry line and want the fly to get down fast. Think about it!

I have a 5/6 wt st croix and I love it. Especially with my budget I can't afford sage but wouldn't shop at wal-mart for something worth holding bean stocks up in the garden. It casts phenominally well(& I'm no expert) and has great action for playing fish. Mine also came with a lifetime warranty which is always reassuring when a company is willing to stand behind it's product. I don't know how "fast" the action is, I have only flyfished with a limited amount of rods. For casting I find it easier than my bit more expensive lamiglas but it's a heavier rod(#8)so that could be why.

I love my St. Croix`s over a lot of more expensive rods. I have a St. Croix Imperial Graphite 7/8 and a Ledgend Series 5 wt. Like them both better than my G. Loomis rod. I`d personally rate them up with my Sage, Scott, and Orvis rods. The Imperial Graphite series is a great buy. Even better if you buy the blanks and build yourself.
