Rainshadow su 1267f question

I picked up a rainshadow su 1267F blank, it's rated 2 to 6, I'm going to build for a spinning set up.

Anybody have one? Wondering what the real word lure weights are and how it's performed.

Any info would help, thanks

If it's anything like the All Star 1267/2 (and supposedly the two rods were designed by the same guy to be as close as possible) 2-6 isn't unrealistic. Although I would say 5 oz might be what I'd be most comfortable with at the top. I think it'lll throw down to about an ounce, too.

And in fact, if anything, most of the Rainshadow SU rods that I've tried have been a tad stiffer than the All Star version of the same rod.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

Thanks mike, that was the answer I was hoping for! I like have one rod that can do everything in the surf, wanted to make sure it can throw a decent riggie and down to a loaded Redfin.

Which it feels like it could do all day. Should be a sweet set up once it's all wrapped up.

Thanks guys
