Evening all, 

 

I’m looking to buy my first St.Croix and have a question about the Avid X. Which model would you recommend for these baits.

 

Z-Man T.R.D + 1/10 & 1/6  jigheads

Gitzit 3.5" Tubes + 1/4 jighead

Roboworm Fat Worm 4 1/2"  + 3/16 shaky head

Rage Tail Baby Craw 3“ + 3/16 jighead

 

( I prefer spinning)   IMO the 6.9ML/XF (1/8-1/2)  or  7M/F (3/16-5/8) but not sure about that.

 

 

Sorry for simple linguistic expression

 

Thanks

I like two different rods for those applications. A stouter rod for the tubes and a lighter rod for the Ned. I would recommend 7'0 medium light fast because I love that rod but you might want to take a look at a 6'8mxf too. I have a 6'9 mlxf and it would be my absolute last choice for 1/4 tubes.

I fished those rods and the 6'9" ML-XF is the one you want. Most medium light rods are now closer to actual medium power and the 6'9" ML-XF certainly follows this trend. I fished that rod using a tube with a 1/8oz head, I also fished a 3/16oz finesse jig with tiny paca chunk trailer so for all the baits you have listed I think it is the perfect stick.
