I use St Croix's, but the 6ft Avid spinning ultra light version. I will tell you they are very light and great sensitivity. I broke the tip off one of em and I had a new one back in my hands within a week and a half, only had to pay for shipping. These are real quality rods and have fast customer service, but that's just my experience so far. I know this isn't what your lookin for, but I thought I'd at least tell ya how good thier service/warranty is.
