I use a 6’6” st croix Avid for single pole crappie and love it. I also use a 7’ St Croix Avid if I
need longer casts. I actually have 4 of the 7’ models. The Avid’s have a lifetime warranty. Only broke one that I closed the tip in a compartment and they replaced it no questions asked for the $40 replacement fee or whatever it is. I have used the 7’ ones for years to throw little 1/8 oz marabou jigs to stripers when they are shallow feeding on small threadfins. I’ve caught hundreds of stripers on them up to 14 pounds. Been really happy with those rods.

Thank you for the review on the ACC Crappie rod. Those have caught my eye and I’ve considered getting one for guests to keep them away from my St Croix.
