AWESOME

sweet fish! way to go

I don't disagree at all but just found it interesting that there are no jigs or lipped crankbaits on this list. I don't really fish either of those 2 but thought they were much more of a "must have" for everyone else. For Glenn, who obviously knows his stuff, to not have either on his list makes me feel a little better.

would you all recommend a medium heavy or a heavy power rod?

I use spinning gear. 6'6" mh rod and 6# yozuri ultra soft. Never used a swivel and have never had any problems with line twist

Man, that video made me smile! There's nothing like the excitement of a child. You're doing a great job spending time with him doing something you both enjoy.

I agree with what most others have said. I have both and use them for weightless, t-rigged senkos and can't really tell a difference between the two. Knowing what I know now, I would just stick with the Avid and save the extra money but you won't be unhappy with either.

I just heard from a very reliable source that this is not true.

I've got avids, legend tournaments and a legend elite and there is not a huge difference in sensitivity from the avid on up. The avid, in my opinion, is the best value of the st. croix rods.

I love your answer. I've actually been a die hard shimano man too but I've got a hook up at pflueger so I'm giving this a try.

I just ordered a brand new Pflueger Patriarch spinning reel. Currently I've got a Stradic 2500 on my Loomis GLX BSR803. My backup rod is an St. Croix Avid. Should I put the new pflueger on my loomis for my main setup or on my backup rod? I know this is a great problem to have I'm just wondering what everybody thinks!

Went to Lake Brittle. I was looking for a smaller lake and this one looked about right. About 55 degrees and windy. Threw a 3/8 oz spinnerbait w/ white blades for about an hour and a half. Not one bite. Switched to a senko for the next hour. Nothing. I had fun trying. That's why they call it fishing... Thanks for all the replies

Im staying near George Mason University and I brought my rod and tackle. Are there any public ponds or small lakes that I can shore fish around?

you might want to consider going to do a little offshore fishing out of ocean isle area - late fall fishing can be really good depending on water temperature. You can catch king mackeral, spanish mackeral, mahi mahi trolling or could catch grouper, sea bass, snapper, etc by bottom fishing. guide for a day could run around $150 - $400 depending on who you get but that would be for just you and any guests you would want to fish with. it's different from bass fishing but a ton of fun. I have a boat down in that area and have been getting more and more into this type of fishing for the past few years. good luck

i'm jealous!! that's a dream day! congrats
