The long 7 weight is also my normal rod in the SoCal surf zone. exactly what I was looking for as a gift. Thanks!! My 9' 3" is a late 70's vintage Orvis Spring Creek with a wonderful full-flex action. The 9 1/2' is on a Loomis blank my dad built for me. The Spring Creek rod comes up on eBay with some regularity and can be had very reasonably as it isn't the ultra-fast action so many people want these days. Last edited by PastorDan; 01/25/15.
