I just attended a Sports Show here in Omaha and there were St Croix representatives on hand, The Classic Cat is no longer made. He said they are getting really hard to find, I purchased the “last” one he knew of that was available at AN retail stores. Also said that it will arguably go down as the best “big cat” rod that has ever been made. Made of S-Glass that is much stronget then E-Glass and incredibly lightweight. Paid 130 for the Rod and got a St Croix hat and T-Shirt. Just need to find a lite-weight graphite to match up with it. Probably the 320GTI Penn
