Help Selecting Rod

I am purchasing my first nicer set up of my collection and I'm looking for some advice. I've decide on the reel (Shimano Curado i), but now I am trying to decide on the rod. I've got it narrowed down to a Powell Max 3D, St. Croix Avid, or G.Loomis G2. Give me your thoughts please.

    Out of those I would buy an Avid.

    I´m a GLoomis fan however the new GL2 is so close to an IMX in price that I would shell out the extra cash and get me the IMX.

    $100 difference isn't close enough for me haha.

    Avid for sure out of those choices. 

     

    I agree!

    Avid is a great rod.  I have an Avid X and a regular Avid and love both rods. I also own an older GL2 and love that but I don't like the new ones nearly as well.

    Sounds like every one is steering towards the avid and that's fine by me.
