TH 1263 and 1264 rods! 10.5' 6 to 12 or 10 to 17. Get casting as you can freespool with much more control than a spinning reel. Drawback is more weight and bigger bobber. Spinning rods cast light weight further.If you have to have a Loomis the 1263 is it in GL3 and Travis can whip it up in any config you want! No brainer TH over Lami! The only thing Lami has over TH is a little faster warrenty. But if breaking rods is a problem maybe look into UGLY STIX!!!!LOL
