I have one in my surfcasting arsenal and I don't think I've had a problem with the butt getting in the way.

Unless you are set on St Croix wait & save some $$$.
MikeCC is getting some Factory Breakaway's that should be a big bargain.

Ive been using a 2 piece St. Croix 10' which was supposed to be my back up rod but I like it so much I've been using it with a Shimano Spheros 6000 and the combo is great! The model is a 2SRS 100M2. Its rated 3/4-4oz. It was built custom off a blank.
I'm going to check to see if I can get a 1 piece made for next year. Its a nice light alternative to my Lami 120 1M. Only thing is the action is lousy for pencils.

I have an old 11' Garcia Fiberglass Spinning rod that was my father's. I hope to use it next year for pencils.
Which St. Croix are you getting. What are the specs? I was just checking their blanks catalog and the funny thing is that they dont seem to make the same model I have in the 1 piece. Bummer!

I dont know what one you were looking at the premier or the avid but I have the premier in conventional. I love it it can throw 4oz easy, I use it with 6500, no problems and you can't be the price.

I do have two Avid rods, an 8' spinning and a 11' casting. Both are very stiff rods but they still work nice.
The custom I have is different. I think it may have been the same balnk used for the older Ben Doerr System rods. Its got a satiny black finish. I looked at the current St. Croix blank catalog online and it had the2 piece blank I have but not the same rod in a 1 piece which kind of stinks.  |

Thats what I got. I like it better than the avid because it doesnt have that bulky foam handle above the reel seat.
