Ocus:

I've been fishing with my Loomis 1263C for about 6 years now and I absolutely love it. Not only is a great rod for float fishing but it is also a great drift fishing rod to. Powerful enough to land a 40# Fraser River King for me this summer, but yet the rod still feels light enough that you don't feel like it's overkill when your fighting a small steelhead. The drawback is the price eek I paid $250 for my rod several years ago, so the pinch wasn't that bad. If you don't want to spend the big money, I'm sure the allstar & rainshadow rods are good investments to and they will save you some cash.
