Going to try an Avid

Featured Replies

I held them several times this winter, and strongly considered getting one "for my wife" who fishes about 25 minutes a year.

Really though, I have fallen in love with split grips and have always liked the Avids so the idea of combining the two is something that excites me. The only reason I have bought is that they don't make a Pearl in 7' MH.

I can't wait to hear what you think of it.

First you're oogling Kevin Shorts pink boat and now pink rods?

I saw those in my Cabelas flyer this week I got.  I'd try it.

The Avid Pearl is fuchsia, not pink.

Knowing the difference between fuchsia and pink is not helping your case.   ;)

If you hold out, maybe you can get the Dancing with the Stars - Tom Bergeron Signature Series :)

BTW, who do you think will take home this season's mirror ball trophy: Nicole or Evan.

Dang, I'm whipped :)

Eh, maybe he is going to move to California to fish it?  ;D

I'll say this, the sucker is light.  But they severely over-state the power & action on the rods.  The 6'8 MXF is more like a ML-moderate fast.

Bought it for the wife as a general purpose rod, but I don't think it will be much but a light-duty small worm rod. 

I don't understand why they don't make a 7' MH-F.  Don't they think women will fish a 7' worm rod?
