St Croix Avid Surf ASRS80M 8' Spinning Rod

2 Attachment(s)

Rod is in very nice shape. Guides all good, no nicks or damage to the blank. Minor stress marks in the epoxy on some of the wraps. Rated 1/2-2oz. One piece. $130 picked up in SoCo. I'll ship it but you pay for actual shipping plus cost of the pvc tube if I have to buy one at Home Depot.

It is a fairly stiff rod and I think it is under rated. However, I have never used it for that weight and I do think that regularly trying to throw 3 might be a stretch. If you were in SoCo, I'd let you give it a try. Perhaps put a post in the main forum here / on a surfcasting site and see what others think. Thanks.

no way that handles 3oz. I have the 9' triumph rated 1/2 - 2 1/2.
Actual range on 9' is 1-2 oz.

I would have to agree that 3 is too much. I used it with 2 and it was not a problem.... gonna move it elsewhere... NLA here.
