St. Croix Avid Series Cranking Rods - $180.00

Anyone who throws crankbaits knows it takes the right rod to really be effective. We want medium action rods that won't tear out hooks but not a noodle rod that can't set a hook or move a big bass. Many companies are forced to use fiberglass for their cranking rods because it is very difficult to design a 100% graphite rod that has the right action and power with out collapsing under pressure and shattering with a big fish on the line. St. Croix has used their many years of rod building experience to produce a crankbait rod that performs exactly like you think a crankbait rod should. These blanks are 100% high-modulus SCIII graphite that have been designed to give the perfect medium crankbait action, plenty of hooksetting and fish fighting power and the ability to cast a crankbait as far as you could want. They are very sensitive and will let you feel the lightest take and the lure ticking through grass and brush. These rods are light in weight with top quality Fuji Alconite Concept Guides and premium ergonomically correct cork creating the perfect high-end crankbait rod especially for the angler who throws a lot of crankbaits. The medium rod is perfect for light to medium heavy crankbaits and the medium heavy rod throws medium weight cranks up to the big stuff perfectly.

Comments: I am amazed that these Rods do not get more attention in the marketplace. I have been on the St Croix Pro Staff Program for quite a few years now and I have been blessed to own many of their models....and I still keep coming back to the AVID Rods. These rods are 1st and foremost very durable.....and yet they still give the sensitive properties we all come to expect. Sometimes I feel Rods are (Overbuilt). back in the day-when these Rods come around the market...they were not extremely popular due in part to the advertising campains from others. Belive me when I say "YOU NEED TO FISH AN AVID". You will not be sorry. John

Comments: I have the medium action.  The rod is incredibly light and I like the action, but the medium is surprisingly light action.  I would call this rod medium-light.  I'll get the medium-heavy next time.
