I'm looking to get a new 10' rod this spring for throwing larger plugs (over 2 oz.) and occasianally bait (3 or 4 oz. sinker with a smaller bait like worms or clams) and would appreciate some advice. I'm going to use either a baitrunner 4500b or slammer 560 with either 15-17 lb trilene big game or 50 lb braid depending on what i'm doing but i'll probably upgrade to something better next year, maybe a Van Stal. I'm looking for a rod rated for 2-6 oz. and am considering a custom (I've never bought one before so I really don't know where). I would greatly appreciate any advice.

Thanks, Josh
