I have a ST Croix Avid 9 foot 4pc 6wt that I have been using for slinging buggers, streamers and smaller bass flies with. Its the older model Avid (black not green)No case or sock. $85.00 shopped to lower 48 and if you want a padded rod and reel case from white river in olive that Ive been using for it make it an even $100.00 shipped to lower 48. I do not know how fast of a rod you are looking for but it cast streamers and such real nice.
