The heavier XRA 1322 might be a better weapon for places like Squibnocket. Also for tossing those 4 oz Roberts from the beach. The 1321 is rated 7/8 oz to 3 oz, the 1322 is rated 1 to 5 oz. Little firmer butt section if you have to muscle fish away from the rocks, too.
Most guys have their 1322's done conventional, but it makes a great spinning rod, too.
The Stradic is a great reel for places like the Gut, but in heavy surf, you may have problems with sand jamming under the rotor. Better choice for an 11' rod is the Mitchell Nautil 7500 in the same price range as the Stradic.
