Best 9 foot Rod for 9" Sluggos and A-Salt Bombers

[luds]

These are likely to be my main "go to" lures in my home waters this season.

Last season I purchased a Batson SW 1088. It's a nice rod but it's not as sensitive as the other Lamiglas and All Star rods I have and I'm not a huge fan of how it handles Bombers. I'm selling it to a friend who's needs it will meet better than mine.

I love the sensitivity of my All Star1145 and am considering getting another one cut down to 9'. Love how the 1145 handles Bombers.

I was hoping you guys could make some suggestions for other 9 foot rods they would meet this description.

Can anyone compare how the 1145 compares to an All Star 1088. Also wondering what an All Star 1087 will handle. Looking strictly for Graphite or Graphite/Fiberglass composite.

Thanks!
