Now I have decided on the as68mxf for a day or so now. But I wanted to learn more about there warranty. When I stumbled upon the homepage they have a nice interactive menu that helps to give you the best rod for the way you like to fish. I put in a couple different situations and found that the ac68mxl was listed everytime for spinning rods (for the applications that I chose) . So when it doubt for so long like myself......they have a nice program that you can input data into like type of fish, type of area fished, and presentation.

Thanks to the couple of members that threw out the as68mxf as an idea to me. You were right on with your selection as it fits pretty much all my needs and style. Even thought that rod was recommended I was still going back and forth with a few things. Just goes to show you why Bassresource.com is a top notch site. 8-)

I don't know if you bought it yet or not but BPS is clearing out the current style of Avids. I just bought two yesterday. AC62MXF for $118 and a AC70MHF for $126 instead of $150 and $170. I already have the casting version of the rod you are looking into and it is a dream to fish.

Thanks David, a link is always useful. I was in a hurry yesterday so I forgot about it.

Don't live close to a BPS and I called around to the local dicks stores and they don't carry them.

Trying to determine how long these will be in stock at Reeds before the new ones come in. I can pick mine up for 144 I believe from there. Just don't have the money sitting around yet. :'(

edit: WOW nevermind its actually an online sale..........Now I do have some money in savings that is going towards a downpayment on a house. Do I dare ask the wife if I can borrow some of that money? She knows that I'm going to get this rod at some point. She also knows the price that I'm going to pay at Reeds. But you know women and there sales! She may go for it! Pray and pray hard for me lol.

edit #2:  Well talked to the wife this morning and she said "Well duh, if you plan on getting the rod anyway, go for the sale!". She is such an awesome wife.

Picked up a couple of owner wide gaps while I was at it. Bait monkey is pulling hard the past couple of weeks.
