I find myself perpetually scaling down and Spring grants 13+ hrs of daylight to work the water and cast with a vengeance. While relative drift length will dictate the number of pitches accrued,weight/length are factors to consider IMHO.
I've every Loomis float rod to the 12' 3" and a goodly smattering of other offerings within the ilk.
My go to Hammer is the 9' 6" 1141S...light,much backbone,fast tip and easily balanced. Steelhead hate it.

Haven't caught much over a 25 pounder with one and never more than say 50 Coho or so in a day,via 1141S. I'm on pins and needles awaiting your critique,as I know the humor will be exceptional,as per always. Allow me to spread a little bait...so as to sweeten the pot. Cast #1 and Cast #2

Cast #1 and Cast #2 Its gotta be a GL-3 cuz with all the "yardin" & high sticking going on up on POW an IMX whould be toast..... Hey big stick I'll give ya credit for a solid 28" on that last one.......  Looks like your buddys know you well, down sized it b4 you could hang that 40" on it...... c./22

You've no credit to spare and that is beyond obvious.
28" is about as accurate as your 1141 critique...but alas,it's tough for you to fake experience and that too is glaring.
