I love my 9' st croix triumph. I pair it with a Penn 650 SSM (discontinued) but something in that class (5 to 8) or 500 to 800 or 5000 to 8000) works. 30 pound braid. sweet with 3 oz crippled herring in canal, can fell lure bounce on bottom. Throws magic swimmers and metal lips as well as swim shads and even pretty light stuff. Handled bass to 40 pounds in surf. I am not a "rod guy" i.e. those who bend the tip and feel the flex etc. but this one just feels right. loads well when casting but has good feel and adequate backbone. my 9 foot combo feels good and light enough casting all night (or at least easily handles 2 to 3 hours of the non stop I do).
