St Croix Avid X

I have been looking into getting a new jerkbait/topwater rod. The Avid X is what I am thinking right now but I'm up for suggestions as well. Is the 6'8 MHF going to have too much backbone? Would I be better off with the 6'8 MXF?

Re: Daiwa SV103 Ratio

Re: War Eagle Double Willow vs Screamin Eagle

The Lucky Craft Skt spinnerbait is on my list to try out. My top recommendation would be the Revenge Deep Runner. On many occasions it has out fished other spinnerbaits by a wide margin for me. They are a little more pricey than War Eagles, but they have very good durability and slightly better comp...

Re: War Eagle Double Willow vs Screamin Eagle

You're right on track. The Screamin Eagle is great for burning and running a little deeper due to less resistance from the smaller blades. The double willow version will have more resistance and be able to be slow rolled. Also, if you want some recommendations on other good spinnerbaits, I'd be happ...
