CTS vapor trail 11' 3-6oz has been my go to rod for the last 2 seasons. I throw 1.5oz thru 4oz and for me the sweet spot is 2-3.5oz. rod is very light and fights fish extremly well- best fish so far is 40# in canal on a running tide.

Is it a good rod for casting long distances? And does it have good backbone? Can you throw jigs on it?
