Plug rod:Lami or GLoomis?

I have the arra 1084 and the 1203-2 both reel nice rods,
I don't like the 2 piece 1203 it keeps turning at the ferrel
I taped it and stopped the problem but if I had to buy it
again I would get the one piece.

If you're looking for a 9 footer, I'd see if you can locate an All Star 1088 (no longer in production) or the Batson SU 1088.

Very light but a ton of backbone for moving fish around the rocks. My All Star is perfect in that weight range, and I believe the Batson is very similar.

A 9' one piece is much more easy to transport than 10'...that way you can avoid the two piece.
