I've been fishing the northeast for almost 30 years. I've never, in all that time, ever seen the need for a 13' rod rated for only 1-3 oz. This season---I never even made a cast with my 11 footers, except when throwing poppers in the Canal. But, different strokes for different folks. To me, a 13' rod's only possible use is throwing "8 and bait" when you need to throw 100 yards to reach the fish. For throwing lures----I'd be toast after 10 casts. And, I'm not a small guy.
But--if you're set on the 13---leave the 75 mm Perfections off it. Today's Perfections are absolute crap--they're plated, not solid stainless, and the plating won't last two seasons. Plus, the welds that hold the ring to the guide feet and bracings don't last even that long. The 50 mm BSVLG Fuji should be fine for the gathering guide.
