I've used St. Croix rods exclusively for a number of years. Strictly avid series. However, I recently bought the medium action premier series as a "back up" rod for when I want to have 2 cranks tied on. I've used it a lot the past few weeks with medium and shallow runners and been pretty impressed with it. Caught several 4+ lbers on it, but no giants. I've not thrown any deep divers b/c I usually don't throw them until a few weeks from now. Only difference I can tell is that I can't cast quite as far. Other than that, very good rod. Not disappointed at all.... My guess would be that the heavy action would be too stiff.
