FWIW, I have a Lamiglas 7' MH "Inshore Classic" (Line 12-25)
and a Lamiglas 9' Ex-Hvy G1344-T "Kenai Series" (Line 15-40)

I consider these my mid-weight bay rods.

I wanted a reel that might work on both interchangeably, and also bought the Curado 300EJ two days ago at Squidco, loaded with 65# PowerPro braid.

I took the 7' out for a test drive this morning from J-St in South San Diego Bay. I was very pleased to see how far and how easy it was to cast. It felt great. (Caught a nice Orange Mouth Corvina for lunch - Buddha said they are relatively rare around here.)

Now I'm curious to try the 9' rod from a favorite shore location to see how far I can cast.

For my kayak, I like 7' rods because they are long enough and I can easily reach the tip without knocking things around.
