I use the 10'6" lamiglas 6-10lb for float fishing. Not quite a float rod, but very very versatile rod capable of most everything I do. It's amazing how stout this rod is, yet it's a feather to the touch. I've stepped on it, scratched it, ran over it with the lawn mower, and it won't break. Less than half of the price of a Loomis. I hate Loomis, and most people who use them. Sorry, just had to throw that in
