[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 210289, member: 55"] St. Croix Avid AC68MXF casting rod. I really like the St. Croix Avid line, and have quite a few of them, but the 68MXF is the most versatile rod I've picked up. Ignoring heavy baits, it will throw almost any bait at an acceptable, if not ideal level. I think St. Croix considers it a topwater rod, but it excels with really light soft plastics, works as a Senko rod in a pinch, doesn't mind lighter jigs, and makes a dang good jerkbait rod to (I actually like it better for jerkbaits than I do the 66MF, which is St. Croix's jerkbait rod). Currently have an Abu Garcia Revo STX on it, and the combo does an excellent job, but I don't quite like the pairing. I'm still playing with reels for that rod. Had a Viento on it for years, and I liked the feel of it (as far as shape, and how it fit my hand) slightly better, but that reel has bitten the dust, and I'm not buying another. The STX does a far better job of casting weightless finesse worms and the likes, anyway. I couldn't be more pleased with the function of the pairing, as far as castability and such, but I want a reel that seems to 'fit' the rod better. [/QUOTE]
