Yesterday at the Natural Resources Commission meeting in Lansing, science prevailed thanks to many, many persons who took the time to write in, and especially those who showed up to speak before the Commission on Commissioner Walters’ amendment to close bass fishing on the Inland Waterway and Black Lake from May 1 until the third Saturday in June.

Addicted to fishing.  All the time, any species, anywhere!!  Especially in West Michigan!!!

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.
So much water.  So many lures.  So little time.

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 7 Avids and love them all...

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.
