9ft for canal
Looking for some advice on a rod for the canal. My daughter wants to start fishing the canal this year and I finally feel she is ready. She was probably ready a year or two ago but I don think I was ready to be truthful. I use longer rods but I need to find her a 9ft rod for tossing small pencils and sp minnows. Any recommendations?

I'll lend you a rod I used with Tyler. It's a Batson might be 9 or 9'6" but he turned some nice fish with that stick. Try it out

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.

Yup. I bought one for my wife years ago, before we even moved back to the Cape. It can throw up to 3 oz, and it can turn a fish. |

Yes it can! Someone told me once that rod wasnt a great canal rod , I just laughed about it after watching Tyler turn 20#+ fish with it on more than a few occasions. It's not a jigging type rod , but it's a perfect rod to learn "feel" and a for a kid to learn on. |

it has some mojo from me also as I caught a few fish with it, mostly from the sandy beach but also at the ditch on occasion with a kid or 2 along.
I'm surprised Andy hasn't broken it yet

Used to be the SU 1088. I haven't followed their blank line up for several years. Charlie at CMS would know. |

I think fiberstar builds a 1 piece 1088 based on the allstar that is becoming popular with tarpon guys in Fla. I've not seen the blank but likely worth a look.

Soups has a 1088 fiberstar, I can grab it from him if you want to check it out.

Got one for my nephew a few years back, a little stiff but had no trouble learning to cast. Good suggestion from numbskull. |

Got an All Star 1088 for my wife a couple of years ago. Nice canal stick for a small person. She's caught several fish in the high 20's with it and it's handled them fine. She doesn't jig much, but I think it'd do fine up to 3oz at least.

SU and SW are 2 different animals. People get them confused especially the 1209'S.
