I have two 9'surf mojos, ScII and one 10'avid, ScIII. The blanks are completely different and hard to compare. The most obvious contrast is that the Avid 10' ScIII blank is lighter and stiffer. You will not feel balanced with any plugs weighing 1 oz. or less. The first thing that I noticed was a 2 oz. Kastmaster barely loads up the backbone of the rod for casting. ScIII is a fast action material. The plus of this action is superior sensitivity on all subsurface lures. From swimmers to jigs (11/2-3 oz) the fisherman can feel all the little nuisances that help determine depth, structure, and bottom type. Poppers on the surface get a quick snap from the fast rod tip releasing the best action a popper can provide. Which means less work and almost a break for the top water angler. The 10' Avid is the next level in fishing equipment upgrades. It is an increase in strength and sensitivity. But this is by no means a back bay schoolie fishing rod. Bring this gun to a gun fight.
