X 86 MC or X 90 MC

Hi I am new to the forum, I am 14 years old and avid fisherman on the kalama river. I just bought a new Quantum accurist PT and am looking for a good drift rod to put it on. So far I belive the certified pro X 86 MC or the X 90 MC would be some of the best choices. I fish silvers/steelhead year-long out of a boat or on the bank. Since both rods are medium weight and fast action, what are the differences between the lure weght of the X 86 MC: 3/8-3/4 and the X 90 MC: 1/4-5/8 while casting and fighting fish. Any advice would be helpful to my purchase, thank you.

They X90HC is a little

They X90HC is a little lighter tipped with a little more power in the butt. I believe this is a better all around choice on the Kalama. You just want to make sure you do not high stick this rod as the faster action will not handle it as well.
