Avid X. I have the 7' Med.Hvy. and use it as my jig rod. Absolutely love it!

Thanks Robert for the reply!

Hey folks, looking for a new rod. All I want to know is, are the guides on the (casting) champion extreme normal size? I will be using braid as my main line with a fluocarbon leader. I do NOT want micro guides. Wanted to make sure before I purchase. Thanks in advance!

I have both the crucial and the avid x. I like the exposed blank on the crucial but the avid x just has a better blank feel. More sensitive. But be aware the avid has micro guides. No comment on the zodias since I don't own one. Good luck with your choice

I used to use the Alberto knot. Since trying the FG knot, I really like it. The small diameter is great and the knot is strong. Little tricky to tie, but nothing a little practice can't take care of.

Thanks for all the votes and responses!!!

So I am looking for a new rod. This rod will be a MH, fast or Extra fast. Been considering a few rods in the $200 range. G-Loomis E6x, Powell 3D Max, St.Croix Avid X. What is your choice??? Thanks!!!

I have two lightning shock rods. A spinning and a baitcaster. Never had a problem.

Get yourself an anchor man! Also use some bigger baits like other members have mentioned. I've caught some of my best fish on big soft plastics like 8 inch plastic lizards, and full size brush hogs. Put those big soft plastics in the pads!!!

I don't personally fish Webster lake. The lake is to big for me. I only own a small john boat with a trolling motor. I hear there is good fishing there tho. I just stick to my handful of ponds that I know hold fish that get up to the 8lb range. Other than that I take a few trips to the Quabbin reservoir for some smallie action!
