I am looking for a 7 foot plus spinning rod for 1/16 to 1/4 oz.   I am using a Loomis 782 sjr glx.  It’s rated 1/8 to 3/8 but handles 1/16 well.  I want a longer rod for distance, preferably closer to 7’6”.  I don’t want a whippy rod.    Looking for a medium that can handle down to 1/16 at that length.  This is for bottom contact in light grass as well.  My 782 handles it fine I just want more distance.   I would like to stick with Loomis.  Not a fan of the recoil guides.  I have one of their older bcr glx  and never liked it.  Still considering nrx.  Been looking at reviews for nrx 901, 902, glx 892.  

901 would be killer, but the 902 would be like your rod but longer if that's what you want. SJR are the jam!

 

My old SJR 721 has such a fantastic taper. I often wish it were 7'.
