st croix avid, they are nice rods

My favorite of all those line ups is the Endurance. Haven't used any of those specific rods unfortunately so I can't give you any specific feedback. All of them are quality brands and series so whatever you choose I think you will like.

Avid......cause I'm a St. Croix junkie and creature of habit.  I HATE change!!  St. Croix has never given me a reason to try something different so I can't comment on the rest.  I won a Powell Max 7' M/XF.  Didn't impress me so I sold it.
