I have a factory Loomis sur1084 (spinner) and it is a nice rod. I get very good distance with 20# fireline and a well-casting plug like a 2-3/8 oz superstrike littleneck or a Habs needle. Dont know if its "as good" as a 10 footer though. It may be in the lighter range than the 1.5 to 4 you are looking for, I don't trust it much over three, but it is good for jigs as low a 1/2-OZ too, and has a nice backbone. Also fits perfecly inside a Honda accord. The sur965 is my next rod
