Shimano Spheros. It's built for saltwater.

Unless the 704 comes back and returns to an under $100 price tag the Spheros is quite possibly the king in this price range.

I'll go so far to say it will not only outlast a more expensive Stradic but also the $300 Sustain in a surf fishing enviroment. You can't treat it like a Van Staal, but with just a little care you'll get quite a few seasons out of it.

For a 9 footer, if it's a fairly heavy rod, look at the 8000. The 6000 and 5000 aren't much lighter and all you'll really lose is line capacity.
