9 ft plugging rod advice?

[Clogston29]

I'm looking to get a new 9' spinning rod for plugging and eeling this year. I currently have a Fenwick which I'm happy with but I kind of want to treat myself to something nicer and use the Fenwick as a backup. The thing is I'm looking for a rod rated for 1-4 oz. since I usually use plugs from 7/8 to 3 oz. I was looking at the Lamiglass rods (Ron Arra and Surf and Jetty) and they are all rated 1-3 oz. I'm just looking for some advice/comments on whether the Lami tends to overrate the lure range on their rods and what other quality options exist besides the Lamis. I would also consider going the custom route but I am not really sure how to go about doing that and the cost involved. Thanks for any help and sorry that this isn't the most interesting topic.
