St. Croix sounds Frenchish so..

I rec'd my 1st, one and only Avid from Reed's today 6'6" MF Spinning . Sweet, then had to make the big decision... do I put the Symmetre or the Pflueger President on it? The Symmetre was already on a decent rod so the Pflueger it was.

 Now I've got to sneak to the lake to try it out before the cold crap starts which could be here in the morning. Might be spring before I truely know much.

My Pflueger has 10lb? braid on it and when I would barely tap the line near the lure I could hear it in the rod near the reel.

congrats on purchasing a top quality rod!!!!!!

The avid series, begins the true St Croix quality

great rods.

You never need to go higher in class/cost.

but now that you got a taste of a premium rod,

the bait monkey may have other plans for you.

 Boy you can really feel the difference on how structure feels with this rod. Unfortunately I don't know how a fish feels on it yet! LOL

Once I feel a fish I think the baitmonkey could be big trouble for me!

 About right time now but just a hair early for the good stuff. My home lake doesn't even open till 4/28

dont worry when a bass hits your lure you wont miss it ... avids are sweet sticks ... if st croix didnt make the legened tourney bass series id fish the avids NO DOUBT .... enjoy its a great rod ... that was my favorte spinning rod i ever had that 6ft6 med fast
