just throwing this out there as another solid option. Not sure if they still make em, but GLoomis 1084S. 1-3oz. It's a factory rod and the grip tape is a little rough, but this is a tough rod. It's perfect for Finnish swimmers, rigged slug-gos, SS and Gibbs needles and eels. its only rated to 3 but I threw 3oz dannys and pencils consistently with no problem. Didn't catch any monsters on it, but caught a lot of fish between 20-28#s with the biggest going 32.( TO was with me when I caught a 28 and then another time when I got a 31 from a boulder field). Fished the rocks and an inlet with it. I wouldn't fish it in a bway though, almost got spooled at Q one Nov.but I'm pretty sure a seal took one of the 15 pound blues I was catching. And you can't beat GLoomis' warranty. Just throwing that out there as another alternative.
