many other choices besides rainshadow

but nothing beats a rod custom built for a specific application. many small things that can affect how a rod fishes, adding/subtracting a couple extra guides on a rod can drastically change the feel of a rod.

i own two xst 1144s, one of the single most versatile rods ive ever come across. some people dont like how its a little softer in the mid, but i love it! loads up and casts a mile!! also helps absorb those big head shakes of bigger fish.

but for your drift fishing rod, IMO the 1084 and 1085 are the staples. personally i 100% of the time reach for a rod maybe slightly a little more power then you would need (but not leaps and bounds over powered) i rather have the power for the slight chance of a bigger fish. but that is just me... i dont use less then the 10-17 for wild steelhead on the OP
