After asking and researching about what kind of rod I should use for throwing a bladed jig I finally decided to use the 7'4 mhm Legend Glass, with a 7:1 ratio reel, all I have to say is, it really took away the learning curve, I've always been a speed worm guy, letting the baits swim thru grass and never had a great deal of luck throwing a bladed jig with a regular carbon fiber rod, that parabolic bend and action really does give you the time to react and set that hook when you get that bite!..... loved it so much I got 2 more!

Sold my Panfish Series to upgrade to the Avid Series. I love to bobber fish for crappie, and the 7’3” MLXF is perfect for the job. If you’re serious about panfish don’t think twice. Pull the trigger on this light, well balanced workhorse. Love my St. Croix rods!

Amazing rod! Light, well balanced, sensitive, casts light lures like a rocket, and the action os just right for the proposal, whitout losing backbone for fighting larger fishs.
I couldn't ask for more in a lighweight spinning setup, worth every Penny!

I bought seven St Croix rods and five Lews custom light reels this year. So far. I am extremely happy how sensitive and light the rods are. Combined with the Lews custom light reels I have a Great selection of very sensitive and lightweight fishing combinations to choose from from.
The rods were a great purchase!! But as others have also stated, don’t expect anyone to answer the phone or respond to emails in what most customers expect! Not going to happen!
You may also receive an empty tube because the shipping person at St Croix failed to use enough tape to keep the plastic plugs at the ends of the tube in place. My UPS driver showed me the tube two rods were shipped in without tube plugs and one small piece of tape left. I was not happy!
When I received the replacement rods there was no tape left on one end of the rod tube and just a small amount on the other end.
I don’t understand how a company that builds such great fishing rods can so sloppily ship their product and not promptly respond to customers!
Thankfully, the rods are great.

I recently purchased the 6' one piece ultralight fast action Avid Series Panfish rod for fall trout season. I couldn't be happier with the overall performance. This rod is so light and well balanced with the perfect amount of spine and flex. I paired it with a Shimano Vanford 2000 and it's an absolute dream setup for stream trout fishing. Easily handles 5lb+ fish.
