Rated 1-5 ... loves 3 ,,, 3.5 max . I feel Like I can break it with 4 .. Great rod.
Bob don't laugh ... If you can deal with 10',, Lami Triflex TS 10 MHS 2 pc. rated 3-8 12-30lb. factory rod . cheap... been using it 2yrs. leaving xra and others home.. stays in the car all the time .. throws 1 ounce ,,, throws 4 ounce .. Lands a decent fish (30# decent for me) quite easily . I want to get a blank and set up conventional also for when i get winky finger..

Lami GSB 132 1M? It's not as crisp as the XRA 1322, and IMO the Arra fights a fish better. But the GSB does handle 4 oz easily.
11' graphites that'll work a pencil and can handle 4 oz--those are the only two in the game right now.
How about S-glass? SSB 136 3M would be good. If Mike at M&Ds has any, that is.

Mike I have seen u say this many times.I can't disagree more.i have bothe the arra an the gsb in 11'.
I think the gsb is more crip an the arra is somewhat slower in action.U know quite a few of my friends have had the gsb built in the last yr An I have seen some variation in the way the blank reacts.I have seen em really stiff an some kinda whippy.place em side by side an there is really no difference in diameter.I think guide type an placement is a big factor especially when u get to a 11 ft. rod.My arra has 5 Titanium wire frames guides while on the gsb i have the new fancy fugi system set up with the 40 collector.i would bet the fugi's add much less weight to the end of the rod an give me a more crisp feel.I like both rods very much I can cast a bomber better with the gsb the arra is the ultimate pencil rod.I can't imagine have to us a 11' glass rod.I have one i have not touched it off the rack in the garage in 3 yrs..
Bob i would highly reccomend either one of the 2 feel around.u have all winter.Tough to say if i had to choose one.I would flip a coin..
