St. Croix Avid Trek travel rod

Hey guys, anyone put some time in on one of these? I know the old tidemaster had breakage issues and wanted to know how these hold up.

Are you looking at a casting, or spinning rod?

The only St.Croix multipiece rod I have experience with is their Trumph casting rod. It performs exceptionally well for a four piece rod.  It's an SCll version, whereas the Avid Treck is a three piece SClll

spinning in avid trek is what I am most interested in.

You DMed me about this and I haven't owned one yet. I took one of my heavy Legend Treks to Florida in July and a 4 foot barracuda snapped it. I haven't had a chance to call St. Croix about warranty yet but since the Legend Treks are disco'ed, I imagine they'll send me an Avid as recompense. Fortunately, I bought it on clearance at about half price so, I won't really be short changed.

Nice! I have checked out Trek before but never pulled the trigger. I figured a few guys would have tried the Avid 3 piece by now but maybe not. Appreciate the reply!

Hello Thunder,

     I do have the Avid Trek in spinning. I have used it several times. It's a fine rod IMHO. It has a excellent case too. I've used it the last couple of vacations to Maine. It's hard to tell much difference from a one piece rod.

Thanks FM! That is most helpful! 7' or 7-6 model?
