Dc , I agree ,you where given good advice ,it also makes a top notch drum rod . A friend of mine is a point regular and rates his primo syncro the best drum rod available ,

Larry , like Led said the zziplex's are available in many lenghts .There are standard factory sizes but Terry Carrol will build a rod to just about any reasonable lenght that you desire . Led even has/had a syncro XL LT which was about 16' long .
There are many zziplex's that will comfortably handle 8Nbait but some are better suited to that weight class and a lot will also depend on your casting ability . IMHO any of the primo series in the right hands will easy cast 8Nbait 150 yards ,same for the Quattra series but you have to know how to use the rod...
