Lamis & Loomis for me. I do own one noodle rod i use for silvers, shad, and trout, but the rest of the ol' collection consist of 10.5-11.0 ft. rods from med. lite to heavy. It would be nice to fish for hatchery metalheads with a noodle, but, not practical cause of the damage to the fish and controlling of the fish froom snags and other fisherperson. Gave my wife the 9.0-9.5 ft. rods. Alot easier for her to handle and she doesn't get too pissed of when shes having problems untangling the line off the tip.
