    Not a "killer" deal, but a good one for sure. They are quality rods as I have a 7' MH/F model and it is a super versitale stick!

    I have a 7ft MH F Avid, I find it to be tip heavy, but it is a descently sensitive rod with good build quality.

    Mine seemed tip heavy at first too. Its a really finicky rod that has to have the right reel on it to feel good in your hands. I finally put a Curado 50E on it and it now fishes like a dream.

    I understand your excitement...Im the same way. When I order a new rod, Im constantly checking the tracking number to see where its at and waiting on the UPS man. :D

    nvm i found out... 6.9 ounces right? 7+1 bearings? 10lbs max drag. does it feel pretty balanced or in a perfect world could your reel be lighter or heavier?

    I have a 7'MH Avid as well and find a heavier reel feels slightly better, for me any way. I've tried several reels on mine and the Pflueger Supreme felt best for me. It's got a Citica on it now but the supreme has felt the best.
