Crucis Rods Alpha Crucis is the brightest star in constellation Crux. The constellation Crux is better known as the Southern Cross. Our new range of rods Crucis, is named after the brightest star in the Southern Cross, Alpha Crucis. Every design element in the Crucis series was developed under the Southern Cross here in Australia. At the same time Crucis utilises the best of the best in components and materials sourced from around the world. Crucis is the first rod in Australia to feature NANO III technology. Crucis demonstrates that though there are many imitators there are only a handful of true innovators. NANO III technology is the next step in rod technology.

3-5kgs 2pc construction Wearable ferrule NANO III Hybridised Superior EVA split grip The Crucis 3-5kg is built to operate comfortably at the edge of its design parameters. Nano III deliver s more grunt into a 3-5kg class rod than ever before, yet it can handle finesse style techniques with equal ease. 91756 C rucis LMS7225 7'2" 2PC 3-5 kgs Light 91891 C rucis Dead Stix7825 7'8" 2PC 3-5 kgs Light/M 04 Snapper Paerus Auratus Photographer: John Cahill 05
4-6kgs 2pc construction Wearable ferrule NANO III Hybridised Superior EVA grip length 28cm Uni wrapped butt section producing deep-down power For controlling heavier fish, or heavier loads (casting weights) The additional length of the Crucis 4-6kg combined with regulated mid-section directional wrapping produces a cross over rod. A rod, equally at home with stick baits, or bait itself. This radical design is exclusive to the Crucis range.

Crucis FORCE 6-8kgs 2pc construction Wearable ferrule NANO III Hybridised Superior EVA grip length 28cm Uni wrapped butt section producing deep-down power For controlling heavier fish, or heavier loads (casting weights) Rated at 6-8Kg this rod is a Hoodlum Stopper, a Big Kahuna tamer. The power of Nano III fibres combined with high modulus fibres produces a stick that can be comfortably described as a New Generation light game stick. 91757 C rucis FORCE7628 7'6" 2PC 6-8 kgs MH 08 Giant Trevally Caranx Ignobilis Photographer: John Cahill 09
TRAVEL RODS 2-4KG 4pc construction Same tip technology as AEGIS 1-3kg Wearable ferrule + push over ferrule NANO III Hybridised Superior EVA split grip Expedition Angling has long awaited the introduction of a High Performance 2-4kg 4 piece travel rod. Unidirectional cross weave thermo carbon delivers a rod that feels like a one piece rod. The 4-7kg produces the same one piece sensation as the 2-4kg. These rods are high performance piece of Piscatorial Armoury; they set a benchmark against which all other Travel Rods will be measured. 91890 C rucis Travel7244 7'2" 4PC 2-4 kgs Light 10 Brown Trout Salmo Trutta Photographer: David Dick 91758 C rucis Travel71047 7'11" 4PC 4-7 kgs MH 11

CRUCIS BAITCASTER M & M/H 1pc construction NANO III Hybridised Uni wrapped butt section Superior EVA grip length 28cm Uni wrapped butt section producing deep-down power For controlling heavier fish, or heavier loads (casting weights) Precision casting has never been easier than with the new Crucis Baitcasters. The synergy of high modulus fibres combined with our unique Nano III material means that crucial cast under an overhanging branch is achieved with ease. We paid particular attention to the Baitcaster as it typically is used for our most iconic fish, the mighty Murray Cod and Barramundi. 14 Almaco Jack Seriola Rivoliana Photographer: John Cahill 91893 91894 C rucis Bait Casting 6016 6 C rucis Bait Casting 6018 6 1PC 1PC M MH M MH 15
CRUCIS SYNERGY M/H 1pc construction NANO III Hybridised Uni wrapped butt section Superior EVA grip length 52cm Uni wrapped butt section producing deep-down power For controlling heavier fish, or heavier loads (casting weights) Of all the rods under the Crucis design program the Synergy Casting rod is the rod we are most proud of, as the Angler s that use these rods are represent the quintessential spirit of salt water Angling. Using more wraps, and increased thermo-forming control, we have delivered a rod equal to the Angler that will use it. On the ocean rocks, break walls, the most demanding environments an Angler can fish. In house we call this rod the Hero Rod, because Angler s who brave the ocean rocks and break walls truly are the Hero s of the Angling fraternity. 16 Spanish Mackerel Scomberomorus commerson Photograhper: Jason Taylor 91892 SYNERGY Surf Casting 11215 11' 2PC MH 45-185g 17
SYNERGY SURF 2 & 3pc construction Rod cloth bag Enforced EVA grip Alconite Guides Uni wrapped butt section producing deep-down power For controlling heavier fish, or heavier loads (casting weights) Beach Fishing holds a special place in the Australian Angler s psyche, we are all uniquely conscious of our Ocean Beaches, the interface between the great oceans that surrounding us and the shores of our island continent. Synergy surf will cast further than any other rod in its class. It will handle heavier casting loads and heavier fish than any other rod in its category. 18 Wa Scarborough Sunset Beach Photographer: Ran Feng 91649 91650 91927 Crucis Surf 1028 Crucis Surf 1228 Crucis Surf 13315 10' 12 13 2PC 2PC 3PC 6-8kg 6-8kg 10-15kg 40-80g 40-80g 100-200g 19
