Posts: 2323 Location: Stevens Point, WI | I have one these rods and I use it a lot. Definitely a good crankbait rod. But I also used it for bulldawgs a lot until I got a 7'9 XXXH. But yes, the rod is a good rod, but couldn't tell you about heavy bucktails. I'm sure it would do fine. | ||

Posts: 457 | I have the rod, and I"m not terribly fond of it for heavy bucktails. I'd rather throw them on my Dback. The St Croix has just a little too much tip stiffness, and doesn't load real well with them. It's a great crankbait rod for anything Depthraiders on up. | ||

Posts: 388 | I use this rod for jerk baits, 11" & 13" suzies, and big bucktails as well as larger cranks and twitch baits. | ||

Posts: 1316 Location: Madison, WI | The 7'6' MH i have is a bit to stout for me. It has a 1/3 oz rating aswell does my 7'6" MH Avid, and you can tell there's a HUGE difference between the 2. | ||

Posts: 90 Location: ne53 | I use a 7'6" avid H for bigger bucks and cranks and like it alot. Any chance of borrowing one to use for a day before you buy one? | ||

Location: Illinois | The 7'6"H is my favorite rod! It is great for everything except the biggest baits. I just bought the 7'9"XXX for my heavy plastics and am acclimating myself to throwing the Pounders and 13" Suzy Suckers. Now I just need to hire a team of chiropractors and pharmacists! My back will go before this rod ever gives. | ||

Posts: 388 | How are the XXX rods for fighting fish? My biggest worry about these is that they are too stiff to keep a good bend in the rod when a fish starts to shake it's head. I held off on buying one this year to see what kind of feedback I could get on them. | ||
