What model is that Quarrow SW1088 or SU1088? Any thoughts on the SU1087 or SW1087?
SW and SU blanks are Batson Rainshadow blanks, not Quarrow rods. Quarrow sells finished rods, and I don't know the model #s. They are a very good rod for the price.

For an all-around plugging rod at 9', I would go with either the SU 1087 or the SW 1088. The SW 1087 tops out at 2 to 2-1/2 oz. I think you can throw 3 oz easily on the SU 1087. The SW 1088 is still soft enough to throw light plugs and you can probably push it to 4 oz. The SU 1088 is a very stiff rod and wouldn't handle stuff under 1-1/2 oz as well as either the SU 1087 or SW 1088.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
