If you're fishing the open surf make a 10-11 foot rod in the 9-10 wt category that loads easily (I currently use a 10.5' St Croix 9wt or a 10' 8wt GLX). From rocks I use a 9' 10wt. For out flows and salt ponds I go to a 9' 7wt (The 7wt has taken my biggest fly fish 44"). The only reels I own are Teton originals (not Tiogas) in an 8 and a 9/10. I've had them since 1995 with 0 down time and the only maintenance is WD40.
