Hi Doug
Pick the rod that will give you the most pleasure on the lake or stream. If the
Avid seams to cast better it may be a better match to your style. I have cast many
rods in my time and there are a lot of great inexpensive rods to be had. I believe we
often pay a lot of unnecessary money for cosmetics.
If it is a real concern contact St. Croix and ask for the technical data on both
rods. Then make your choice.
