Thanks guys-from what I had gleaned from other spots on the net,I figured the 7'0 MH fast baitcaster would be the best option. Glad to get some consensus - when I checked my Revo STX I actually remembered I have 14Lb Suffix elite spooled on it now.I used it on the St. Croix Avid 7'0 MH crankbait rod and never had a bite-off all summer long. The lipless bait

that was tied on almost all summer looks like heck,and the trebles have been replaced,but I never lost it-even to multiple northerns that had the bait fully in their mouth.Of course, now that I've said it,it'll be gone in the first ten minutes this spring!

Thanks again.
