Hey all.
Need some help from the guys out there who fish with the Rainshadow XST blanks on their 10 1/2' float rods.

I have a 9 1/2' casting rod made with the XST1143 blank and it is amazing...I swear I can feel a smolt piss on the offering it is so sensative.

My new rod will be a spinning set up primarily for float fishing for SH using braid as the mainline.

I was considering the XST 1263 (10 1/2' 8-12). My rod builder believes this rod is a bit too "noodley" for float fishing with braid.

He has recommended the XST 1264 (10 1/2' 10-17).

I am looking for input from those out there who own or have used the two blanks above for float fishing.

Thanks in advance for the help.
