we need to know how much weight you plan on throwing and what kind of fish you are after ... the Daiwas are nice but not good for throwing much weight ...

I have an Okuma Solaris with my 6500 ...

I have an Emblem 11' 4-7 oz. it will throw a six oz a mile, but much more than that the rod begins to feel like it is gonna break, not sure what you are using for weight or what you are fishing for, but that is my 2 cents.

Emblem. I sold the one I had to someone here, but I kind of wish I'd kept it. It's the same one outfishin is talking about. It just didn't throw enough weight for me though.

Thanks everyone for the replies. Seems like Emblem will be my final decision. But I feel the reel seat and the butt is rather close. Wpn't it affect the casting.

get the emcast instead 11' if your gonna chuck bait . does 6nbait great. and throws 8 on special occasions.

24" to butt. and the xflock is nice xD

very lightweight. you can actually hold your baitstick for awhile now.
