Cant decide between Black Hole Suzuki 10' (1/2-2), or St. Croix Avid 8' (1/2-2). The cost is similar. The rod will basically be used for pompano. Which one and why. Thx., Joe.

RWFishead:
I like to fish light. I will be using jigs from 1/4-3/4, and can't do that with the long poles. Also don't want to be throwing 4-6+ weight. Lastly, I'm 76+ and don't know if I could handle 12-13' poles. I realize I will be giving up distance, but I won't have the BIG ONE on the beach. LOL. It's strictly recreational. THX. Joe.

RWFishead: Not a problem, tight lines. Joe

Excessive Angle: The St. Croix is only 6" shorter than your salmon rod, and the Black Hole is a ten- footer. So where is the benefit of a salmon rod?

BeachBob, I'm confused (not hard to do). My original post listed two rods. One was 8', the other was 10', both had the same rating 1/2-2. Both of those fall into the salmon rod classifications. So, why keep saying I should look into a salmon rod?

Benji, I'd luv a Century Demon, BUT I'm not paying $680. If they knock 3-400 off, I'll be first in line. Us poor folk on a fixed income gotta be careful. THX.
