i have a rod in mind...

For the most part. But a souped up MagE on a 9' meat stick is not going to cast a 3oz plug as far as say a 10-11' Breakaway or XRA... It's the total package and competence of the caster that defines the distance...
Reason for my asking was that I have a 1089 PacBay Saber that might go up for sale if he wanted a cheaper rod to plug & jig the shoreline. It's a nice eeling stick when a little more backbone is wanted but it's not the optimum rod to reach the distance of say, the other side of the Ditch. It'll cast well but it won't provide the same distance that a rod designed for distance will get ya.
