Thanks dkell, I'm going to Backwaters tomorrow to get the St. Croix Avid series in my hand, the I will let you know Thurs day what I'm going to do. Do you know if the G Loomis warranty is still available if I'm not the orginal owner? I live in Irvine KY, 40336 if you want to check shipping price. Where are you located? Thanks, and I'll let you know either way Thursday morning.
Chris
