I purchased my Avid Trek Spinning rod on a Friday and it was delivered the next Wednesday. Super prompt. The rod is beautiful. I won’t have a chance to use it for a while since it is still snowing at times up here in the Rocky Mountains but it is solid and fun just to look at. I like it so much that I ordered another one today.

Beautiful travel rod in a sturdy case. Came quickly.

It was a fantastic rod while it lasted. I got it in February, and it was super easy to use while traveling, as it came in 3 pieces, and came with a hard case (which was super generous). But sadly, while fluke fishing, it snapped. not at the guide, just snapped in a random place. this is super surprising because I love St. Croix rods and I owned about 3 of them prior to this. They gave me a replacement, but the customer service wait time was upwards of 3 hours. Being a dedicated customer, I waited. The man was super nice, and gave me tons of options to choose from!

I just wished the replacement was paid for :(

I bought four other travel rods priced up to $200 trying to find one with a true fast action that fishes like a one piece… I wish I had spent all that money on the avid trek series. I have the 6’6” medium rod and it is everything I was looking for. Yes, it’s a little pricy, but I’ll be buying a 7’ medium avid trek as well, and then I will have a pair of travel rods that suit my needs. Thanks St. Croix for making a phenomenal product (again).

Been fishing with this rod several time this summer. Landed several nice fish on it and so far have been very impressed with it. It will be going to Florida soon. I bought the M F 7'-0" and its very versatile. Glad to see a manufacturer making good travel rods.
