Gotta go with MAKAI on this one. I've never found a rod that I was comfortable with on a boat that could also go to the beach with me. The closest thing I have is an 8' St. Croix that is a great boat rod and a decent light beach rod. It can throw reasonably sized tin and plugs to about 2 oz. But it can't cast anywhere near as far as my 10' spinning rod. Also, strongly recommend the Penn Slammers. I've got a 460 and 560LL and they're terrific reels.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
