Couldnt agree more - I'm going retro - redoing two 9 foot fiberglass rods my father in law gave me. The action one these pups is sweet. They will be use for the light stuff - 2oz or less. Got Fishers & Lamis for the big wood.

I've been throwing slug-gos ala McKenna's style this season. I started off using a conventional, but didn't like the feel of it. I switched over to my 9' spinner, and the results improved dramatically. I have been using a Lami 1081mh with a Saltiga 4500. SWEET combo. Landed several 30#+ already on it this season. I think that fishing the slug-go properly just about requires the use of spinning gear.

I usually throw sluggos on my allstar 1145 spinner and it handles them great. The rainshadow 1088 throws them alittle better and is more comfortable to work them with (I fish them sidearm and it wears on the shoulders) but is alittle to light for the area I usually fish. If I fish them from the sand, I'd use the 1088.

I know it is not a blank but I've been using a G Loomis SUR1142S (9'6" rod) for a couple of years now with 9" Slug-Go's and weighted 7" Fin-S-Fish and it handles them very well. Also throws up to 2 ounce wooden swimmers nicely and has surprising power for landing nice fish.
