New St Croix Avid Casting Rods

Featured Replies

Anyone have any feedback on the new SC Avid casting rods? I’m interested in the medium power one for all river smallmouth  using spinnerbaits, blade baits, underspins etc

 

i have the older Avid ML spinning rod and like it

 

I’d be open to other medium power casting rods suggestions

If it's an older Avid like 10 yrs or more don't expect a similar action.  The SC3+ is noticably softer in the tip.  I really do like weight and balance, but they don't feel the same IMO.

I've been wanting to try one.  Didn't care for the Victory models.

Just a quick update. 
 

I git the medium power avid yesterday. I spooled the reel with fluro and casted a 1/4 ounce sinker in the yard. 
 

I think this rod is gonna be really fun to fish for river smallies with. I suspect it’ll allow a great fight without overpowering the smaller fish yet have enough backbone to bring in a 4 plus pounder in current

I only catch a handful of 4# river smallies each year. They're all great fights but it is easier on a medium power rod than lighter gear.

I have an older 7' MF Avid, a 6' MLF Triumph and a 6.5' LF Triumph.
