How would you fish a St Croix Avid AC70MM?

Featured Replies

If I use my AS68MXF for soft plastics, and

my AC68MXF for jigs, light Texas and Carolin Rigs, and

my AC66MF for jerkbaits, crankbaits, buzzbaits, spinnerbaits, and topwater

Same as the 66MF, only with a little more distance on the cast...

The AC66MF is more "general" or "all-purpose". I use it for jerkbaits, spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, topwater and some crankbaits. The AC70MM is softer (Moderate Action) and is best suited just for crankbaits.

p.s. As David mentioned, greater casting distance. The AC70MM REALLY loads up and you will be surprized just how far you can cast a lure.

That would make a fine crankbait rod.

I haven't fished the 7ft medium Avid but I have the 7 medium LT.  As mentioned above it is a fine rod for cranking but it also makes a great rod for buzzbaits and burning compact spinner baits like the Screaming Eagle or the Tungsten Series Terminators.  BTW, it looks like you have a great line up of avids there.  :)

Thanks for all the great information. I think I've got the rods and their uses sorted to start.
