I have been using a 9'6 lami cerf. pro for 2 yrs now and love it. It's my main steelhead rod but i also used in the salt on kings and silvers. It has a good back bone and lite fast action tip. I belive it's rated at 6-15. It's not the rod you would want to pull hardware in the salt but besides that is great. I like so much i'm thinking about buying another for a back up. (as my loomis collects dust)

Hope this helps

Bill
