Rainshadow 1088 or 1087 ( depending on what size plugs) for a rod. Have MikeCC make it or Saltheart.
For a baitrunner, put a 4500 on that 9' rod and he would be all set.
or if you want one right off the shelf, get to the show first thing Sat. AM and hit CMS booth and grab a 1088 from them ( $160-170 )
Right on the water eh?

that's awful nice of you
