I'd have to know where I'm fishing. If I was going to spend another year in SE AK than the X 96 JC is the best bet cause you are fishing small streams. If I was in WA I got the rod I want, the 10ft Herzog rod. does it all and not to mention about all I've been fishing in the last two years has really been spoons. but thats all me.
