9'er recommendations

[tradrodz]

I'm looking for a 9' rod for next season for lighter stuff, bombers bucktails poppers sluggos etc. to plug the beach and breachways with. I was thinking along the lines of a GSB 1081 L or GSB 1081 M, I'd like something light enough to throw smaller baits but powerfull enough to turn a large fish. Would the GSB be a good choice? Also I will most likley be using this for the spring run in the Ct river (Enfield dam area) Please give me some input

Thanks, Matt
