Rod for Bucktailing a certain area..

[PurpelNoon]

Ok, I'm in NY, so for a rocky area like Montauk, I'm looking for a best bet in a rod that can really toss a bucktail (say 1 1/2oz to 2oz) a good distance while having enough power to keep the fish in control.

I have a Lami GSB 120 1M and a GSB 132 1M. I'm thinking along the lines of 132 1L. Would this be a good choice?

The reels I use are either a Penn 704z or 706z with 50lb Power Pro.

Thanks!

I will go along with Spence's idea and also the Allstar 1088.
If you want to save a few bucks you could also go with the
Amtak> Patriot blank(built by Allstar for Amtak)
the same model blanks 1208 and 1088 would work in the Patriot also.

Loomis made a blank a few years ago that would fit the bill also but off the top of my head I cant remember the model number?

Saltheart do you recall the blank I am talking about??

Think the Allstar 1208 is a little heavy for the 1.5 oz stuff. But it rocks with 2.5-4oz.

The 1208 Batson and Amtak are lighter than the Allstar 1208, and work well with the 1.5 to 2.5oz.

My opinion...
1.5 to 3 oz
Batson 1208
Amtak 1208
Allstar 1207

2.5 oz and up
Batson 1209
Amtak 1209
Allstar 1208
Allstar 1206 <--- (great 2pc. rod for 3oz.)

But as always..... just another humble opinion...

[Saltheart]

Maybe a Lami 120 1L.

the Loomis blank that would do 1 to 4 was the 1266/2.

Saltheart,

Just curious why you chose 120 1L vs 132 1L for distance?

Thanks.

[Saltheart]

The 132 1L would be good too.

PurpleNoon,

Arra 1332 is the rod you want.

[PurpelNoon]

Thanks John!

At this rate I need to catch something first! Boy, has it been frustrating. You going to the fling?

[John E]

PurpleNoon,

I don't think so since I have company coming over that day. I f anything, I will be there very late.

[PurpelNoon]

I'm in the same boat. Still iffy.
