FinCulture Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 I have a 6'8'' st. Croix casting rod. Right now it's my "everything rod" because I only only have a couple rods at the moment. So my question is: once I have obtained some other technique-specific rods, what technique could I apply my 6'8'' to? I love the rod a lot and would like to have it for throwing certain baits instead of selling it, but I just am not sure what I can use it for. keep in mind it's casting, so I wouldn't want to dropshot with it. all responses are appreciated. Thanks! Quote
RyanFishing Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Is it the 6'8" M XF? M F? Or MH F? Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted September 12, 2015 Super User Posted September 12, 2015 If it's an Avid AVC68MXF this is THE PERFECT all-around rod. My suggestion is both soft plastics and jigs. 1 Quote

RyanFishing Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 That's a great rod. I have that same rod and it is truly an all around rod. Mine is technique specific for topwaters. It also works great for flukes and weightless senkos. Quote
Super User Shane J Posted September 13, 2015 Super User Posted September 13, 2015 Nice light weight swim jig rod, too. Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted September 13, 2015 Global Moderator Posted September 13, 2015 Topwater/jerkbait/spinnerbait This would be my vote if you want to dedicate it to certain techniques but like others said it's a great all around rod to just put a medium ratio reel on with 12-15 pound copolymer and have available for whatever you need it for.

The Fisher Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 I use it for fishing light TX Rigs and 1/4 oz jigs in clear water since I find it a little stiffer than some of my other rods. Quote
poisonokie Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 you could skip some 1/4 jigs no problem with that rod Quote
WPCfishing Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 The St Croix rods tend to be on the strong side so soft plastic swim baits.. Try the Gambler 5" Quote
