Looking for opinions on these rods from guys who have used them.

Take care, T

I have owned a 6'6" 8-17lbs for about 1 1/2 years LOVE it! the BEST! but beware... the rod is VERY fast. Glad to help.

If I had to pick only one rod the Techna AV would be it. I have many GLoomis rods including the GLX and my Techna rods are always my first choice. Just wait til you get one and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Good Luck and Good fishing

I really like the rods I bought. Very light and responsive with great backbone. GREAT FEEL! I use the 6' MF and the 6'6" MF as my primary rods for jigging and rigging. I feel that a rod of this caliber (and other rods of this caliber) can make a difference in the number of fish that you put in the boat on any given day. Fenwick has produced a product worth considering in this catagory with the Techna AV. I'll be adding 7' rods to my arsenal this year.

Good Luck

Fact: I own two. Opinion: I like them. Outcome: Do the fish care? -- I don't think so.

I have used them for 3 years now and could not fish with anything else. I have never owned a G-loomis but the Techna is a fantastic rod. Lots of feel and very durable. I mostly jig for walleyes and I have never had a better rod.
Great choice !

I bought my Techna AV last spring and fished as often as I could with it. This definitely is a quality product and you can buy one with your eyes closed. This is one very light and sensitive rod. I used it with Fireline on my spinning reel. It's the best combo I ever used. You can feel the slightest nibble and outfish your fishing buddies. I'm saving to buy a second one. Rawburt

I hate to be the only guy to go the other way, but I too own an AV and I've got to say I thingk they are overpriced. They are a nice rod but I cant even put them in the same class as a GLX. My future rods will all be St Croix or Loomis, until someone builds a better rod.

I also own a St. Croix Legend series rod and even it doesn't compare.

Good Luck and Good Fishing
