I don't think I'm asking for a do all rod.
What does a weighted Sluggo weigh? Maybe 1.75 Oz. I don't think 1-1.75 Oz. is alot to ask for as far as casting weight range. I'm not asking for 1-3. If I was I'd expect to sacrifice some on the lighter or heavier end of that range. The 1081mh sounds like an awsome rod and I think I may work it into my arsenal this year as it sounds like it's the closest to a "do all" rod that you can get. TLap thanks for the recomendation. It sounds like you turned a bunch of us on to a special blank. For Sluggos I would think the more sensitive of blank the better it would be for them. I don't think sensitivity would be bad in most rods that handle 1-1.75 Oz.
The main challenge I think I'm facing here is power. I want someting that works well with 1 Oz. but has ability to put up a good fight with a 20#-30# fish in the surf. I'm not looking for something to use in the rocks but more something that could have enough power to land a good fish in a decent surf. I have heavier sticks that will do the job in the rocks (I should have clarified this earlier).
