I was wondering about the weight of them. So far I've been very happy with all the Okuma products I've fished, going back to Flyfishing for trout. I figure I can go with a rod thats a little heavier since I switch between Flies and conventional tackle, not only through the course of a season, but even during the course of a day. I'm hopin that just changing those techniques will keep the shoulders, arms and back relatively fresh.

All my flyrods are 9' and sometimes when I jump back to the baitcaster, I have to remember to lean over a little more on the 8 with that shorter rod. Thats why I decided to go with the 9'3". I figure that since I spent my first 2 seasons using a 6'10" pool cue, my back is gonna thank me for it. LOL At least thats what I'm hopin.

Thanks for all the comments guys!!
