Thinking about purchasing a new float rod

I will also say that I think the Berekely IM8's deserve more love then what they get. A lot of people like the SST's, but Ive had a lot of good experiences with the Ramsey line as far as affordable fishing rods go.

Same here. My three rods are all Buzz Ramsey's, no complaints. I spent under $100 total on all of them.

If you're looking in the 10 foot range, I use the Michigan handle version of the Okuma Connoisseur. With the reel on, it puts the balance near the end of the rod (like a fly rod) so you more comfortably get a bit more usable length for mending and keeping the line off the water with a float.

I'm gonna have to make a trip to Fishermans tomorrow after work and see if they have a 10'6" Berkley IM8. Hopefully they will have the Wright Mcgill, Okuma SST and Berkley so I can compare them together. Thanks again for everyones input.
