I've got a chance to pick up a very nice custom Lamiglas rod at a good price. It's an 11' rod made as a custom job for a Canadian who intended it to be mainly for silvers and steelies.

I did a fair amount of fishing with floats last season using my 8'6" spinning setup and liked it but had a tough time keeping the belly out under crappy conditions (most of the time).

I'm interested to hear from anyone who uses one of these long setups. How long does it take to get over the feeling you're waving a flagpole? Do you prefer a heavy or light action? Personally, I like my spinning setups with a light tip.

As usual, any and all comments welcomed.
