I have a St. Croix 10 foot spinner. It just doesn't work a pencil popper right. I can work one but it takes a lot of effort.
I have a 7 foot Medium action uglystik. The one I made.
I have a 7'6" Empire rod. It's a light rod, one problem, no guides on it. The company that makes it, uses a great blank that I love but for some reason put pretty poor guides and all of them showed signs of rust and two of them actually broke. I figure before all of those become like the other two, I'd replace them.
I have an 8 foot K-Mart special but this is a pretty stiff rod and the reel needs work. It's a Penn 103 C and the roller actually got a groove in it.
That's about it.
I have another 6'6" rod that the reel seat broke on and I gotta drill some holes and put epoxy in.
For the most part, I just bring the 10 footer because 2 rods is just not applicable when you fish 100 yards on the reef and you are in waist deep water.
