Is there someplace where I can get more information on approximately when a particular St. Croix model was made based on the model number alone?

Hi Axle,
Not sure if this will help you or not, I got this off the St. Croix site.

Interpreting the Age of the Rod from St. Croix's Serial Number

Since 2001, every St. Croix rod has a unique serial number. This number is located on the rod blank just above the handle. According to St. Croix's Service Policy, the date contained in the serial number will be used to determine the beginning of the warranty period, unless the warranty registration information was submitted within 30 days of purchase.

The first letter of the serial number stands for the year:
A = 2001; B = 2002; C = 2003; D = 2004; E = 2005; F = 2006; G = 2007; and so on.

The second letter of the Serial Number stands for the month:
A = Jan; B = Feb; C = Mar; D = Apr; E = May; F = Jun; G = Jul: H = Aug; I = Sep; J = Oct; K = Nov; L = Dec

The remaining numbers are for St. Croix's internal use.
