These guys are awesome! They have incredible hours...saved me when i was out on some important tackle!

I just checked out the algonquin page, never realized they had an ice-out watch too! http://www.algonquinpark.on.ca/news/ice-out.php cheers, S&C

I'm pretty sure the avid has lifetime warranty, but not sure if its covered against non-factory defects. someone should be able to clarify...best of luck s&c

totally agree, weather is huge, especially the way its been this year! Great structure and such. best of luck, S&C

I was always a fan of these rods, they look so fantastic and challenge some of the other huge manufactures...thanks for the info!

check out VMC's spinshot drop shot hooks, won't be disappointed!!

My gosh that water looks sweeeeeet! Nice catches!

Wicked Spey build! Very appealing! Thanks for sparking some interest in spey fishing by the way!!

that largie is a hawg!

I would give it a try, you never know! the benefit is that the slip float plus the heavier weight of the drop-shot will allow you to cast much farther, helping you to target the drop-off...goodluck!

Great rod for the money! I'm pretty sure it's one of St. croix's top selling rods. Compre is nice too, unless your not a fan of the synthetic foam. If you wanna go crazy you can go a couple steps above and get the Rage, totally different neoprene handle (that doesn't get slippery when wet). Rod is extremely light and has the second smallest guides (next to microguides) such that you can still run knots through the guides without having it affect the casting. But if your set on the mojo, i'd go for it, getting a great product for what you pay for. 5 year warranty only covers manufacture defects! good luck on the choice!

wicked!...Those brookies are toads!!!

I am in absolute awe! Such a fantastic report! Thanks for the time you spent writing it, enjoyed it very much. S&C

You can try going with a smaller diameter braid...something like a 20lbs,15lbs, or even smaller. The rule of thumb I usually go by is no more than a 30lbs braid on a spinning reel. The thinner braid will also allow you to cast further too. Hope this helps, S&C

can you provide spec's? maybe I can machine it
