Well, you two have been a great deal of help, thanks. Just to get on the same level here. I want the heavy rod for big water applications. The Ditch, Southshore LI, open water Rhody, Montauk, the Block Island, the Race, and Assateague Island are all places I look forward to fishing some day.

I'll look at Mike building me customs since I don't have the room to do it.

Well I'm looking at blanks on the site. This is what I've come up with.

For the heavy jigging rod, A seeker-SU 1153M. It's 11.5 feet but I'd have it sawed down to 10' since that's the mailing length and I'm more comfortable with that length as it is. Mike rates it for 3-6 oz and I'm sure his ratings are truer to life than the company's.

For the light rod, Lamiglas MB1083M Black. Rated 1/2-1 1/2. Conventional too. Left at 9 feet.

For that rod to fit everything in between, I'm still unsure. Maybe the Batson 1208. It's a one piece rod rated 1-4 oz. I figure each of the blanks I have chosen overlap their capacities a tad bit. I figure that's the best bet.

Any further comments?
