St. Croix VIS76MLF Avid Inshore Spinning Rod - 7 ft. 6 in.

I paired the 7” MH with the shimano tranx 300A which balanced out nicely! First day using it I hooked into 2 good sized halibut & man this rod was fun to use, tons of bend & strong backbone to handle big fish with confidence! I’m buying another combo just like it - it’s that good!!

Purchased 3 of these Avid, 7'6" ML, late last year paired with Shimano CI4 2500 reels. Use them for Bass on the lakes and Reds and Specs down in Florida on the Flats. Handle all bass and Spec Trout with ease and Reds up to 10-15 lbs. Rod is extremely light and Strong.

super lite ST Croix best rods I have ever used

Casting is a breeze . Hook set and backbone are get and the craftsmanship is awesome. Oh and it’s super light.

Planning on using this rod to chase Bull Reds. Has plenty of backbone, and if anything like my other 10 St Croix rods ( yeah, I know, I have a problem) I won't be disappointed.

I use this rods in the back bays and mud flats for prowling stripers. Plenty of back bone to land 25 pound class fish, and touch to feel the sometimes light bite. This rod is always with me in the spring.

As always St Croix rods perform like they say. Thanks Tackle Direct for the fast shipping.

I've been using different brands, price points and lengths of rods to tune in what works best for me with 2500 and 3000 size reels, mostly Shimano Stradic Ci4+ and Stradic FK and Diawa Fuego. This rod is so much better at casting than my TFO PSS 764-1, St Croix Mojo Inshore or G Loomis E6x. I was worried about sizing down from 7'6" rods to this 7' rod but it actually casts farther and has other benefits - easier to maneuver around the boat, easier to stow and store and the slightly shorter handle length means I'm not banging the rod base against things like my trolling motor (or my gut). First time out with the new rod I did not want to switch to another rod even though it was rigged with the lure I needed at the time. I already purchased another one. I'll be using the TFO rods as guest setups from now on.

First rod broke on a 2 lbs seabass. New one--less than a year old already broke too. The liner fell out of the tip. St croix wants $40 shipping to fix this. I'll fix it myself and never buy another st croix again. This my 5th St croix that broke. I don't think this is made in USA--at least the guides, reel seat and the blank are not.

I have 2 paired on a Van Staal Vs150 and a Van Staal VS 100. These rods are extremely light and high Quality, yet powerful enough to handle big fish inshore and nearshore.

I have a few St. Croix rods and I keep adding to my collection, this one is no exception great rod great price.

Feather light, perfect action, combining it with a Shimano Sustain, awesome combo, weighs nothing.

This rod is a dream. Light, strong, even looks cool. Handles screaming albies very well!

Purchased the 7’ mf rod paired with 3000 Stradic. Great set up

Great rod for cat fish fresh Walter Fishing in south America. Great back bone to pull the fish out of tree banks pair it with shimano tranz400 100 lbs braid

Light action to handle fluke in summer, tough enough backbone to handle large Strippers and Blues. The fast tip gives me that instant warning of what is going on at the end of the line.

Love this Rod, great action and sensitivity, high quality materials..Teamed it up with my Penn Spinfisher V SSV4500 and very happy...will be purchasing another for my Van Staal VR50 when it ships!

Great rod. Super light. Components look strong and should last. Highly recommend.

This is my favorite rod in its weight I own. There is nothing I don't like about it. It's sensitive and light and I really like the guides it has. I use it for saltwater fluking as well as bass fishing in fresh water. I may be old fashioned but I like just plain cork handles and a lot of rods made now for bass fishing are going to the segmented handles.

As expected from St. Croix, this is a fantastic piece of gear. It has all the positive attributes I want in a rod, and has become my favorite rod in my collection.

Very sensitive, great for using live croaker for big specked trout. This rod let's you feel all the action of a strike. S

this is one amazingly light rod the fit and finish is top notch and with a backbone of confidence sure to turn them fishes around but far from a broom stick Rod ..Love it !

It's light, strong, and awesome guides. I have it paired with my Stradic 4000 and 30lb braid. Feel like there's nothin it can't handle. This is my second avid and just don't see the need to go up to legend since these new avoids are fantastic rods for a great value.

This is one of the lightest and most sensitive rods I've fished. I primarily use it for free lining yellowtails, but it can still handle small tunas and mackerel no problem. I have it paired with a small 3000 Stradic, and this is hands down my favorite combo for inshore and a blast to use for light offshore. With the titanium components, I don't have any worries with corrosion now. Highly recommended!

Bought this rod for inshore kayak fishing in south Florida and I am very happy with its performance. It's is super light! And has high quality parts that should last a lifetime. I got the medium action because I find it's much easier to cast from a kayak but it still has enough back bone to handle large snook. (Test already completed). I will buy more.

This God is everything they say it is love the guides love the color love the feel matches up great with my Shimano sustain 5000
