I am trying to decide which rod would be best for plugging and throwing metal ( 1-3oz.) for stripers from shore and from jettys. I've never owned a lami surf rod and it's hard deciding which one to order without putting my hands on it. I was looking at the 9'6" or 10' triflex rods. Of course I'll be throwing braid. My budget is $200-$250. Any info is greatly appreciated. I need to order it asap so I have it in time for my trip. Thanks
