Have a couple of the new Avids along with the Legend Tournaments and Legend Xtreme. The new cork on the Avids and Tournaments is a game changer. If you've gone through 5 rods you have zero clue as to what your doing. Disregard that review by tool bag IAN.

How could anyone find something wrong with these rods, let alone five of them. Best inshore rods on the planet. This cork is the deal. Seriously, why did it take so long for you guys to do this? Cleans well. Survives the scrub. These are waaaay better than the old ones and they were stellar!

I have an 7-6 MHF Avid spinning and have been putting it to work this fall. Casts great. Great feel. And has been holding up countless fish and tough fights. Highly recommend!!!!

I own the 7'11 MHF model and it is a great rod. It has enough backbone to fight big fish well but you also feel the fight on smaller fish. It is a very versatile rod. I've fished it in the surf, off of boats, and off of jetties. The rod is extremely sensitive but most important it's comfortable enough to fish all day without putting it down. It's been up and down the East Coast with me and I would do it again.

From the Avid Inshore line, I own three casting fishing rods. I use the larger models and have only very positive opinions to share. What I like most is that they are incredibly lightweight while offering plenty of strength for fighting fish. Even better, these rods do not sacrifice sensitivity, allowing you to feel the swim of the trolling lure and even the slightest changes in the line. I've compared these rods to two other brands in the same price range, and these are by far the best. I use them for heavy inshore fishing and light offshore fishing, targeting species like Yellowfin Jacks, Dorados, Flounders, and large Calicos. I am extremely pleased with these rods.
