well, i bought my first st. croix avid back in November, and i have fished with it many times, but i just recently caught my first fish on it.

im a few days late on this post, but i caught this bass on a wacky rigged 5" *** (smoke red pepper) in 3 feet of water on my not so new avid 7' MF.

about an hour before i caught that bass, i caught a crappie on a Rapala DT-06 but that was on my other avid (crankbait rod) which i have caught many fish on already.

Very cool!

its a real hawg nice work

glad to hear that  

Did the lake drop 5" when you pulled that one out?

Congrats it is always cool when something new works.

There will be bigger ones

Congrats dude! That's a fine rod you speak of, it should be good for couple thousand more fish before you retire it. Keep'em coming!

WTG, D!

It's a good thing to break a rod in. 8-)

Great rod nice hat congrats on the bass. Keep pluging!

cool deal dave.   i know there'll be plenty more as long as you are throwing that trick stick.
