It is rated for 3/4 - 3 oz and I think the sweet spot is 1 1/2 - 2 oz but it still throws heavier with no problem. Great rods for the price.
This was my Economic Stimulus present to myself, so for the first time in 8 years I thanked George Bush for something.

My first true surf setup was an 8' Tica when they first came on the market and a Spheros 8000.At that time the total price was under $150.I got several years out of that setup.My two biggest on that setup were a 20# and 24# bass.Sold the rod just recently and still have the reel as a backup.
I may very well buy one of the newer Dolphin series rods for that reel just to have something in a 2pc setup that I can toss in the vehicle for those quick trips.
