Slightly off-topic. The Avid AVC66MF is also a great all-around rod for just about every medium weight lure. However, it's not for soft plastics or jigs. 8-)

The tip is soft which is an advantage for many techniques.

However, jigs and soft plastics require a firm tip mostly

for feel (sensitivity), but also for help with the hook set.

edit:

I guess we were tying at the same time

and you were faster! Sounds like we're

on the same page.
