If your budget will allow you to send $150.00 I would buy the avid, I have a few of both, the avid is lighter and more sensitive. The premier is a best rod under a $100.00 and the avid the best value in any price range IMO.

I don't know, but I bought some a few weeks ago. They look so real and have caught a few on them, no big ones yet just dinks.

I was useing a black/blue arounnd some trees, it got stuck over a branch and was about half out of the water. I shook it a little and a nice fish about 3 lbs. nailed it, she came out the water about a foot. It was real cool, I even landed her.

I also use Trilene XL #12, it works great for me

Nice

Hope You Catch More Fish

I use the Wide Gap Finesse Hook Weedless 1/0 & 2/0, I fish them from the head, tail, and wacky. The weedgaurd helps alot when fishing cover. I wish they made 3/0.

I use these in a 1/0, Gamakatsu® Weedless Finesse Wide Gap Hook

Revo gets my vote.

I agree

If you are wanting to let friends use this combo I would not buy a baitcaster! Baitcaster plus friend = backlash. I have found that anyone that can throw a baitcaster has there own. I would think about a Zebco 33.

No Way, the same thing happened to me about 2 weeks ago, but I took the money!

Great Reel!!

I use 8 lb clear on a spinning reel, no problems at all. I caught a 8.4 lb'er last Saturday. Maybe you just got a bad spool. Give it another try.

BTW, as a small business owner thanks for wanting to buy locally and support your community!

I have 2 SX's and I'm very happy with them. If I had a $200.00 budget, I would buy the S and invest more money in a better rod. Shimano makes great rods, I prefer St. Croix rods.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate it a 6.

I like spinning better for senkos.

WTG, Very nice fish!

Very Nice Bass

I have a couple and like them alot, I also hope they start makeing a 5.1:1

I am looking to buy a new combo for swimbaits, my budget is $400.00. I like St. Croix rods and very open to any brand baitcaster. Thanks

I have one I bought in a combo from Dick's, it is OK. I would not buy another. I would send a little more money and buy a St. Croix.

I am using the Elite 4 lbs. on an ultralight spinning reel, it's doing great.

Hello Swim, Glad you got a new combo. I hope you have fun fishing with it and catch alot of fish. Good Luck
