factory stumpy?

[chris storrs]

any one know of a factory rod in the 8-9 foot range that can throw 10+ounces?.....lookn for a new rod for cobia to match with a Daiwa saltist 50......seems like all the rods in this size range are plugging rods....but i want something that can throw a whole spot and an 8 ounce

also just found an 8 foot lami blank...says 20-40 lb model # is S6800...anyone ever used this blank.....can it handle what i need it for?

Breakaway's got a 10' model that'll do the job, the 1209. Not sure about a 9' model, but I'll look in to it.

A Lami 1221MH will throw a brick although I'm not sure of the factory rod number

[CrawFish]

try the OM 10ft mini heaver, you'll be amazed how much weight that rod can throw, put you can cut a couple of inches from the butt.

trhanks for the input...il check out the lami 1221 and see on that one...im already getting a 1209 for a fighting rod....only reason i dont want to use it for this is cuz illhave a shv 30 on it when strictly cobia fishin....i guess i might have t go to a 10' rod for this too...

I have one built at Reddrum tackle that I would sell for $125.
I don't think it would throw 10 well at all.

AllStar makes a 10' stump heaver that will throw 10 + bait and a small cobia, will try and check on Mod # tomorrow.

[chris storrs]

Cris, I might have what you are looking for. It is a white fiberglas rod wraped by Lars Tolson in 1979 at Red Drum. The reel seat is cord coated with epoxy, the color is green with yellow. I had it made for casting 12-16oz and bait into a noreaster. Next time you come to the banks I will show it to you. I'll PM you my email addr. The condition of the rod is almost brand new, no green,scratches or defects.

Longcast ,
If chris dont want it i may be interested , let me know

[chris storrs]

you can go ahead and sell it ta him...but if it turns out he dont want it when i get to hatteras in the spring ill get it if the price is right

Its funny that you would choose that rod because when i first saw the threat i was going to point you to it. The only problem is the butt is a tad bit on the short side, and you might want to get that tip changed. If your running shock (which I know you are) I give that tip 2 solid weeks of serious segal pier or sb slinging.

[chris storrs]

short butt not too much of a problem...i could alsways elongate it...but i might get that rod from longcast so may be no need
