Hmm I found another Rod...

Okuma CELILO Graphite Casting Rod (12- 25 Lbs, 8-Feet 6-Inch, Heavy)

Is little bit longer... 8.6 but still 2 pieces and lure is from 1/2 to 4 oz....

nice price as well 49 $ and is a Graphite composite not glass.. and have cork handle...

Anybody Using Okuma rods ???

I suggest you go with some thing lighter, Like 8-15lb it will make catching fish more fun. Any thing heavier is really unnecessary(IMO) Unless your catching Marlin or 40" fish frequently...

I plan on getting some thing like this link easy to travel with. Right now I use a Shakespeare 6'6" two piece 8-15lb with 10lb line for both bass and saltwater fishing and I got it at walmart for $30. Its a great rod to fish with.

Id also check out Cabelas but Ive never used any of their spin stuff but I can vouch they have good fly rods.

Where i was Living In Florida I had 1 piece 7 feet casting Ugly Stick... and i loved it but living in Big City without car when You going to fishing location by subway or train 7 feet is little complicated.
And medium heavy or heavy action is necessary for 2-3 once sinkers I will Use on stronger currents... from ocean pier...

I kind of lean toward that Okuma....1/2 once minimum lure should give me enough finesse and 4 oz enough power to throw heavier sinker with fish read for bait for example...

and 48 $ for graphite composite Rod with cork handle is good deal I think...
