pinchofpepper Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Evening all, I’m looking to buy my first St.Croix and have a question about the Avid X. Which model would you recommend for these baits. Z-Man T.R.D + 1/10 & 1/6 jigheads Gitzit 3.5" Tubes + 1/4 jighead Roboworm Fat Worm 4 1/2" + 3/16 shaky head Rage Tail Baby Craw 3“ + 3/16 jighead ( I prefer spinning) IMO the 6.9ML/XF (1/8-1/2) or 7M/F (3/16-5/8) but not sure about that. Sorry for simple linguistic expression Thanks Quote
EvanT123 Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 I like two different rods for those applications. A stouter rod for the tubes and a lighter rod for the Ned. I would recommend 7'0 medium light fast because I love that rod but you might want to take a look at a 6'8mxf too. I have a 6'9 mlxf and it would be my absolute last choice for 1/4 tubes. Quote
Super User Solution smalljaw67 Posted October 30, 2015 Super User Solution Posted October 30, 2015 I fished those rods and the 6'9" ML-XF is the one you want. Most medium light rods are now closer to actual medium power and the 6'9" ML-XF certainly follows this trend. I fished that rod using a tube with a 1/8oz head, I also fished a 3/16oz finesse jig with tiny paca chunk trailer so for all the baits you have listed I think it is the perfect stick. Quote
