If you were limited to 1 rod?

OK...Here is the scenario....you fish beaches, jetties and rocky shoreline.....you like to throw poppers, swimmers and rubber in 1-3 oz...you are limited to 1 rod.....What rod would you choose?

All Star 1088 lightweight, can throw the selected range all day and then some. I'm used to fishing with meatsticks and it took me a bit to gain the conf. in this rod but its got the nuts to do the job.

Domination takes full concentration..

XRA 1204 This is truly a do-all rod.Throws bombers,eels,pencils,jigs.It would be a stretch to turn large around rocks but for 98% of your fishing ...

Production or custom?

Thanks Fishaholic

Is this a Lamiglass product? RA or Surf and Jetty model ?.....or buy a blank and get it custom made?


Sounds like I might need one as it is the most recommended here.

Good health and family

I only used one rod last season, and it's a Tica 9 footer. With budget constraints and all, I've had to deal with an off reel seat and a jiggly eye, but it's still caught me some nice fish.

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.

Lamiglas blank. Same blank series that their Surf&Jetty medium rods are built on.

"Graphite Surf&Bar" (GSB)-blank

"Surf&Jetty" (XS)--factory rod.
