Most of my rods are Midwest Chuck and Duck drift rods (converted Sage/Loomis fly rod or baitcaster blanks) set up for fly reel and mono. The balance are noodles and long rods for running floats. I am really looking for a "West Coast" drift rod that I could use a bait caster on. Would be a hell of a lot easier than stripping all that line on big rivers. More time in the water means more fish.

Would like a two piece that would handle fish in the 8 to 15 pound range, and would use it for fish on the Zipper when I head out your direcion. Any ideas on a rod that I could use for this? Ain't afraid to spend the cash if need be. Thanks for your help.
