untrue plug stick

I'm thinkin ahead to the next rod. This will be for plugs, light bait 2oz +bait and maybe eels, basically a rod that will do every thing. The blank I'm lookin' at is a St. Croix 10' 2pc (it has to be 2pc.) its rated 3/4-4. I know that 10' is long for plugs but it will be doing more light bait than plugs, also I have felt this rod finished and found it very light. I think I woud be able to plug for a while with it. Normally I plug for an hour or two with one bait in, then go double bait. Basically I'm looking for a rod that can do just about anything, granted I wont be throwing 4oz and a head on this rod.
So very light bait, good size plugs, maybe an eel can this blank handle it?

P.S I'm in CT but may be on the cape for a little while. will also be in NH for a while, and maye spend some time in NJ,RI, maybe even montauk so basically everywhere is my location.

I figure I'll have the length when I need it.
Thanx guys
