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.
