One of the often-overlooked 9 footers is the Loomis SUR 1084S. One piece, rated 1-4 oz. Mike cc built me a sweet conventional custom on the blank that Loomis uses for the finished rod.

I have a factory Loomis sur1084 (spinner) and it is a nice rod. I get very good distance with 20# fireline and a well-casting plug like a 2-3/8 oz superstrike littleneck or a Habs needle. Dont know if its "as good" as a 10 footer though. It may be in the lighter range than the 1.5 to 4 you are looking for, I don't trust it much over three, but it is good for jigs as low a 1/2-OZ too, and has a nice backbone. Also fits perfecly inside a Honda accord. The sur965 is my next rod

what toonoc said. i have the same rod and throw 3 oz all the time with it.(its only rated up to 3 BTW). i really like the rod a lot but i find its too light for the rocks. loomis changed the price of their "expedite" deal too which is a bummer....
