What is the difference in these two rods:

Avid ASV66MF

Avid AS66MF

ASV is the new Avids. AS is the older model. The newer model has IPC and has a gloss coat (I for one hate gloss coat on rods).

Edited to replace ART with IPC.

So are you saying that these are the same rods and one is a 2007 model and the other is a 2008?   If that is the case then someone really screwed up big time.

WHAT?????

fill us in ...did you get an 08 model for clearance price or something?

I just bought 2 of them for $80 each at the Bass Pro Shop outlet in Spfld. MO.  They had another one but I for sure didn't need it.

niiiiiice score

...Actually, I messed up. The new Avids have IPC, NOT ART.  :-[

Either way, nice score!  ;D

1st look at the blanks if they are labled with the IPC ,,, they are the new 08s .... you can compair your new rods with the 08s if you look at www.stcroixrods.com .... if you scored 2 new rods for that price ,,, chalk one up for the good guys .... LOL / ;D
