Premier series are lower end St. Croix rods probably a Gl2 Loomis Rod. The Avid AS70ULM2 is a moderate action rod which I prefer for jigging than a fast action rod. It is more forgiving.

But if you want a head's up compare the SR841-2 then I would highly suggest AS70ULF which is a 1 piece fast action rod.

Pros:
The AS70ULF is lighter than the SR841-2.
The AS70ULF is $130.00 less than the SR841-2.
The AS70ULF is more durable.

Cons:
The AS70ULF is a one piece rod SR841-"2" is a two piece.

Median:
Both backed by lifetime warrantee.
Both very sensitive.

You just described my St. Croix Legend Elite ES66LF.
