Dear friends,
I need your help...:
I am planning to buy a new spinning rod, for hair jigs only to catch pan fish, perches (and so on) on lakes and slow rivers.
The problem is that I need a very light rod for really small and light jigs (Hook size 10 or 12 up to maybe 4 with a weight between 1/32 oz and 1/8 oz, maybe a little more).
Since I would like to fish on the shoreline and not in a boat, I think I prefer now a longer rod (8'). My other rods are shorter...
I don't like a stiff rod with fast tip, I like an more progressive blank (a little like a fly rod).
It is really hard to find a matching rod on the European market because the most rods are fast or extra fast with to soft tips. Further more, I like the look of the old school rods.
Now I have found two rods made by St. Croix in the USA:
Avid Series Spinning Rod AVS80MLM2
http://stcroixrods.com/products/freshwater/avid-series-spinning/
Panfish Series Spinning Rod PFS80LMF2

Has anyone experiences with this rods? Which one would more match for me?
Thanks to all,
Mike
