I like the St Croix Premire series better than the Avid for drop shotting. It is a bit slower action. It is cheaper, but thats not why I like it better. 7' ML is my pick.

I use the Avid mlxf and am quite happy with it.

But then, I'm a little slower on the hook set than some.

I now use a Grandt All-American for drop shotting...Also sometimes use the Avid for DS but now that I use the Grandt, I use the Avid for senkos almost exclusively.

I have the 70mlf Avid paired with a Stradic 2500fh as my drop shot combination and I love it. Super light, perfect action, and very sensitive. I broke the tip off my Avid in the car door this summer and substituted it with a Kistler Helium and it just wasn't the same. I have 3 other Avids and they are well worth the money. The Premiers are great too...like SethV said they are a little slower and just a feather heavier.
