went on a trip to florida, purchased this rod as a quick rod for the 7 day trip. it performs so well it shocked me that some of my other higher end rods are comparable.
wont say any names though lol
just get the avid, the rod is worth more than it actually cost

I have been using the rod in the Northeast for schoolie bass and squid, but can't wait to try it on larger bass and bonito. It has a very sensitive tip and casting is phenomenal

Amazing rod

The 7' 6" or 8' are great paired with a 4k or 5k reel. Light rod, light reel, you can cast forever and may never come home. Strong rod with great guides.
ProsGuides, blank, light, cork, all of it
ConsPricey!

Fished this rod on a inshore charter. Loved it. Caught specs and stripers on it. Love the light action to the rod. It allows you to feel everything.

The 7’6” MH is a versatile inshore rod that allows me to toss a variety of plugs and soft plastics in almost any situation. I have it paired with a 5000 size Daiwa reel.

VIS80F, this is a heavy duty spinning rod but light. I have it mated with a Shimano sustain 10,000. Sure enough, it’s able to reel in 60lb blue fin. It’s perfect for 20-40lb species. As it is a stiff rod, retrieving lures is not so great, but more ideal to live bait.

Extremely light. The VIS76MF pairs nicely with the stradic 2500 Ci4. Such a light combo that it floats. Very sensitive. Works great for trout and reds.

I have 2 of these rods and I use them for Blackfish, Seabass, Fluke and Striped Bass. Great back bone and super sensitive! I paired them up with the Van Staal VR50 to make perfect inshore combo for NJ fishing.

I LOVE THIS ROD
November 16, 2018
75% of my rods are St. Croix rods. I've always been a fan of their Tidemaster Series, but the new Avid Inshore Series tops them.
I now own several of them, and they perform flawlessly.
They're also about the prettiest rod that you'll ever run across.
