nine foot spinner?
I currently fish w/a 10' Tsunami spinner (2 pc) which I really like. I am thinking about getting a custom 9' one piece. My biggest concern is distance. Does anyone think a GOOD 9' would let me get the distance I currently get w/a 10'? And don't tell me "distance doesn't matter" most times it doesn't. BUT there are times it does, and as I like to use one rod all the time, it matters to me. The lightest I throw is about 1.5 oz up to a little over 3.
Thanks for the insight.

i use a production lami arra 1084 with a 706z and I can't complain one bit about the distance. I seem to cast just as far as everyone else, sometimes better.

All Star 1088, Nautil 7500, 50#PP really throws long. 2-1/4 polaris is perfect. The rod does not like working pencils - too stiff - stick with polaris, needles.

Rainshadow 1088 is a good all around beach rod. 1-4
tosses bombers to big wood to eels.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I'd second the 1088, but it's a bit light for around the rocks in Rhody; the 1089 however kicks butt...

Whoops, I meant Batson SU1088 above...about the same as the All Star 1088 and probably close to the SW1089.
Really fast action, but you can crank on the big plugs...nice for jigging as well.

For a "non-custom" rod I fish a St. Croix Avid Surf 9' rod and it casts with 50 LB Power Pro great in that 1.5 oz to 3 oz range
