rhody-I have that blank wrapped for spinning. it's an excellent beach rod and will cast 2.5 oz needles a mile. If I going to spend the night walking the beach that's the rod I'll take. you can throw an eel(average size eel) , bombers, red fins, medium size danny's or light metal. for bonito and albacore it might be too much rod. maybe scale down to the 10'0 model XRA 1204. I only albie fish on MV in the fall and from all the casting you do ,you might be better suited going with an 8'-9' IMO.
