Love this rod!
March 26, 2022
After much research looking for a rod that is best for my small hands, I purchased the St. Croix VIS76HF and I'm so happy I did. The weight balance of the rod plus my Shimano Stella FJ STLC5000XGFJ Spinning Reel is perfect. This is my go-to setup for bay fishing. Note, I wear size 6 gloves, and gripping and holding the rod has given me no hand fatigue.
Pros
- Great rod for women with small hands.
- Beautiful color!
- Awesome fighting Bull reds!
Cons
- Nothing.

I love love love the Avid Inshores!
Beautiful look, great Action and a very good sensitivity.
I use this rod for saltwater fishing and fishing for pike with downsized muskiebaits, like the Baby Shallow Raider, Slopmaster Spinnerbait or 7“ Suick.
Best rods on Earth!

I have been using the rod in the Northeast for schoolie bass and squid, but can't wait to try it on larger bass and bonito. It has a very sensitive tip and casting is phenomenal

Amazing rod
April 7, 2020
The 7' 6" or 8' are great paired with a 4k or 5k reel. Light rod, light reel, you can cast forever and may never come home. Strong rod with great guides.
Pros
- Guides, blank, light, cork, all of it
Cons
- Pricey!

The 7’6” MH is a versatile inshore rod that allows me to toss a variety of plugs and soft plastics in almost any situation. I have it paired with a 5000 size Daiwa reel.
