St Croix Avid 6'9 MLXF CASTING Rod

Featured Replies

Who has one? And what do you use it for? I'm intrigued my it. Sounds like a perfect rod for lite Jerkbaits like LC Pointer 78sp. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the response. Just hard because I have no where around me to get my hands in one. Other than small Jerkbaits, and I assume light poppers, is there anything else you eould recomend it for? 

At first glance I didn't realize you stated med/light, but I'd be using that for a drop shot rod. Actually I have that exact rod but in a spinning version that I specifically drop shot with. It would probably be good for spybaits to though 

  Have the LTB version.  Dropshot, small spinners ,spoons and crankbaits for smallmouth and trout, Also weightless worms etc.  In the three or so years I have had the rod no problem with hook sets with eight pound test copoly or dragging a fish in.  The down side for me has been that with a casting rig I tend to horse fish in and with six or eight pound test not a good idea. So make sure to set your drag accordingly . I use it with an abu ltx reel and cast down to 1/16 oz with good distance. Mine is at a rod builder right now being changed over to a full grip from too short for large hands split grip..  Thank you.

I have the 610mlxf in the legend tournament bass lineup.

It's pretty much the ultimate smallie rod for me. I use mine for tubes, finesse jigs, grubs, shakey-head heads, hair jigs....pretty much anythjig with bottom contact.

Jerkbaits work well, but its not my first choice. I like a more moderate action for them. It works well with topwater, just as long as you make sure to really pause on a hit, XF action you know?
