The Herzog MLCT 10' works wonders. Long enough to cast straight eggs with no weight yet has enough sensitivity to feel the fish just holding the bait and not tuggin' it. Can be used as a float rod, but not enough back bone to get a decent hook set especially on loong drifts. Great for rivers in this area,but if your'e out on in the OP, get something with a faster action to give you more control when your'e playing with fish in the 20# and larger class on a consistient basis.
