I'll take that X 96 LLS so wrap it up!! I had a X 96 LS & blew it up high-sticking a big chrome chum in Ak. Never have cared for the Imx 1141s that I have fished, that Lami sounds good.

Now to the question at hand, sounds like your going with the Vedder 6-10 lb. rod, I have fished the 8-12 rod & liked it quite a bit. If your going to fish "steelhead only" with your float rod, you might be ok, my 2 cents is any fish over 12-15 lbs. is gonna take the fight to you......
