I recently got a 7'0 Avid rod. Paired it with a spinfisher 5 2500 that i had with 20lb test.
Got lucky to go be offshore and saw a flock of frigates diving on a bait ball. Was able to real in a 10 lb skipjack tuna. First fish on the rod and first trip. Now is my go to and will probably purshase to fill all 8 rocket launchers on board.

I have a 7’11 MH, I’ve had it for a year or so and always rinse it with fresh water and towel dry after every use. I’ve never experienced this problem with any of my other St Croix rods, but all the epoxy on the guides is cracked and letting water in which is causing all of the guide feet to rust badly. This was bad epoxy.

Love it. Fishes great with Sol Mq 3000

My rod was delivered with a broken tip…..St Croix replaced it within a week no charge and no questions……thank you!

I opened the rod tube to find the top three inches of this rod broken…..not happy
