This is the rod that I have Pete. It's nice and light and throws lighter plugs and BTs well but I don't have a lot of confidence that it can handle a big fish and it rarely sees much use. It' so light weight that I really feel like I have to baby the rod and that doesn't line up well with my style of fishing. I still need to check out some of the heavier rods in the Century and CTS lineups.

I am impressed with how well the 2 piece rod fits together, now more issues with the top half spinning and needing constant adjusting like a lot of the older 2 piece rods.

I have a CTS PJ-1004. 10' rated 1-3, rod weighs nothing... It'll do exactly what you described perfectly. It'll throw down under an ounce up to 3-3.5. I've lobbed 5 with it though I would never do it again. Its super powerful for its size, this was my first season with it and I used it as an SP minnow rod in the canal in the spring and turned fish to 30lbs in heavy current. Little bit pricey, you get what you pay for...

I fully agree with ivanputski with regards to testing WITH the reel you intend to use with it. As far as the Cabo 60 you mentioned, I hope you have something else in mind for the new rod. I have a 60 as a back up, and hate it. Cabo 40 is great. The 60 just doesn't balance or feel right on any rod I have... and I will list it in classifieds after the holidays. Since you are going for the rod, consider looking into a reel as well.
