As long as 4 is the minimum , a rod built on the Allstar 1209 is good. It won't toss less than 4 but will hamnmer 4 to 6 OZ. Probably not good for Pencil Poppers but good for everythimng else especially jigs.

I suppose I'd go with the Biggest Penn Z or the Penn 8500 SS. Lots of guys use the Nautils for that heavy stuff but they are always replacing them so I guess a big Penn. I guess Whiplash or power Pro are the most popular braids for spinners now.

I personally would never use a spinner for such heavy work. I'd go with a conventional with a Abu BG 7000CL and 50 LB Cortland spectron....In fact , that's what I use about 90% of the time.

If you are talking max 4 OZ , forget the 1209. I thought you wanted Min 4 and up to 6?????

I have an Allstar 1088 that is set up spinning and it can throw up to 6oz if it has to. No problem with 4oz. It is not the best with the lighter stuff but is ok with a 1.5 oz polaris popper. I have thrown the large storm shads with it as well as the giant jointed pikies. It is light and depending on the reel that you use it can keep the entire outfit pretty light. I use a penn 706Z with it and it balances well.

That rod must weigh a ton...

I've got both the 1088 and 1208 all star. They are really stiff blanks and do well, although I've never had either over 4. 3-1/2 ounces and you can really wale on it.

I throw up to 5 with a 704z , 65#PP, on a 10 ft. Tica. Lots of tape on the digit. If I gonna go bigger it's a 525 mag or Squidder on a 10 ft. Lami or Uglistik. Personally I think heavy offerings require conventional gear.
