Trivor,
Same here! I had a St Croix Avid UL last year. I broke the tip off, and I purchased a St Croix Premier UL 6' 1 piece a couple months ago.
I love that rod for 'gills and crappie. The Avid was a little faster action, but the Premier is still kinda fast?
I use a Stradic 1000 CI4 ML . Super light reel with all the modern reel stuff. I use NanoFil 2 lb line (the thinnest line in the world, diameter is .002) so I can cast tiny jigs down to 1/80 oz. The line won't break (if you use a 12 turn Uni). I have landed a 10 lb catfish with that line and UL rod!

Gotta love times like that. Excellent job.
It is not about the equipment you have to use,
It is about how you use the equipment you have. :D
