I am in need of a 9' surf rod for lures in the 1-3 or 4 oz range. I want plenty of power in the butt for the occasions when I hook up with a really big striper. Actually the lures I will be using are jigs in the 1 to 2 oz range, sting silvers and 1 to 2.5 oz Hopkins.
I want a really great rod! Not interested in longer rods (I have them).
Something I almost forgot, I want this rod to be as light as possible, so only Graphite, no composite type rods.
Can you guys help??
