Light tackle choices

Batson 1087 w/ Stradic 5000.... it's my spring time rod multi purpose.

A stradic 2500 could handle a striper? I have four or five of them, so I could probably dedicate one to light inshore stuff instead of investing in a baitcaster for the light inshore equipment. That means I can invest in an Abu 6501 with a 9' rod for throwing plugs too.

Does that sound resonable?
A Stradic 2500 with(a yet to be determined spinning rod) for inshore
An Abu 6501 and 8'-9' rod for throwing plugs and Sluggos
A Tica 10'6" surf rod for throwing eels

I typically use Power Pro for all my fresh water fishing (except when bouncing the rocky bottom) so I will probably stick with that.

How much to striper plugs typically weigh?

Striper PLugs vary from 3/4 ounce to 5 ounces when ch#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g telephone poles...

A 9 foot spinning rod rated 1-3 would be an all around go to rod for light stuff like mambos / bombers and sluggos and work thru most plugs and to mid size eels - matched to a Stradic 5000 / Penn Slammer / Comparable Daiwa, ytou would have a great all around setup...
