If you are looking to throw 2 to 4 ozs I don't think you want a 9 foot Tica. I have the 9' 3/4 to 3 oz model and the most I could throw was 2-1/2 ozs and that was pushing it. You might be able to get away with the 9' 2 to 6 oz model but that might still be pushing it when you are throwing 4 ozs. If you want to go with a Tica I would go with the 10 footer with the weights you want to throw.

Between my brother and I, we have a couple of Tica rods/Spheros reel set ups.

1. 7' Tica boat rod with a Spheros 6000 - great for casting plugs into shoreline or jigging in deeper water

2. 7' Tica surf rod with a Spheros 4000 - light tackle set up

3. 9' Tica surf rod with a Spheros 8000 - great for casting plugs and metals

We use powerpro braid on all set ups and can't believe how nice this combo casts. Very long casts and braid never knots or loosens up on reel.

I just matched up a tica 8' with a stradic 5000.

Maybe a bit short for you surf guys, but its a perfect combo.
