i have fished for 8wks the 2 piece century 11ft 3to5oz low rider guides w/ a emblem pro w40lb samiari line .i find it feels quicker, cast farther , is much lighter but more powerfull than my 10-3 ss lami. as for casting in the canal i find a 21/2 to 3oz loaded cordell is ideal for distance.its not the wonder rod but for the price its a great rod for casting a full range of plugs from b-tails jiggs to sebiles to topwater plugs. i;m glad i have mine.obtw. i fish 4-6days a wk on the canal ,and i play hard with the rod its a gread rod for the money for canal fishing.BUT GEORGE IT STILL WON'T HELP UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU stay in your boat and cast too the rocks not from them
