St. Croix Avid Surf Rod — www.outdoorhub.com — Readability

St. Croix Avid Surf Rod — www.outdoorhub.com — Readability: "The false albacore were about 120 yards out, across the last visible bar, and they were tearing up the water.

From time to time, you could see glass minnows flipping out of the surface in a long stripe. Most of the anglers were casting spinning reels with eight- or nine-foot rods; I was using a nine-foot rod with an old Abu 6000 reel with the casting weights removed."
