As many times as I have said in a few post here lately that I wanted an UL setup, everyone else said go Lor ML instead. I have decided to listen lol. Just help me out with a rod. I pretty much have decided on a St.Croix avid series but do I go with a 6'3''ML XF (lure weight 1/16 - 3/8, line weight 4 - 8) or a 6'6''L F (lure weight 1/16 - 1/4, line weight 4 - 8). It is critical for it to be 1/16 ounce capable because I throw 1/16 rooster tails. I am buying a soron STX 20 tomorrow at the spring classic to go with it. It will have 4lb yo-zuri hybrid ultra soft for the line.

anybody? I am purchasing one tomorrow and would love some input. If no replies because of the rod pick, then feel free to add but please atleast say why

If throwing the small spinner is real important, I'd go with the 6'6" light action.  I would think you could throw a 1/16th oz spinner better with the lighter action and longer length, as opposed to the 6'3" medium light action. 

6"6' Light

go with the light for 1/16 oz weight.

just curious, why were you talked out of ultralight? ul with 1/16oz spinners is a great time!

I own the AVS66MLF. That's what I recommend.

i was talked out of the UL because everyone was stating the L action would be better suited to handle bass

I'm guessing you already purchased the rod, but if not, I'm going to suggest the ML. I have a 6'6" Light Fast Loomis IMX that I use for crappies and sunfish, and I hooked into a 3 lb Largemouth and the rod was about maxed out. I was afraid it was going to break the rod when he took a run into the weeds. A 5 lb fish would be impossible.

I have no knowledge of the rod of which you speak, but I caught a 33 pound carp on a light action rod and 6 pound test while smallmouth fishing. A 5 pound bass would be more than doable.

Just a testimony that a light action rod is not too light.
