Joe,

I have a recommendation.

A few years back in my FW bass life.I had a St. Croix SCIII built for me by a builder friend of mine in PA. Its the 7' Heavy action blank. I had it built to pitch jigs with to heavy cover. When I gave up the pressure fishing in FW and switched back to the salt. I decided this rod would make a nice jetty rod to throw bucktails and kastmasters. Well after using it for 3 yrs I have found it does just about everything I want it to off the jetties.

I believe that St. Croix offers this rod in a factory version as the
AC70H but I am not absolutely sure. I think the factory version sells for around $130. They also have the tidewater series which is about $25 less. However it is a bit heavier in weight.

Just a thought??
