Plug Cut Herring Rod

Good afternoon everyone,

i have a neighbor who wants me to build him a rod for trolling plug cut herring for salmon. It must be 9 ft long and be able to handle 6-8 ounces. I have a All Star PRSA 1086-2 that I got back when Andy Dear was selling all of his All Star blanks. Would this blank be alright for this application?
Thx-Pat

The best Salmon rod i have ever used is the Lamiglas XCC 1112H 9' 3" line 15-30 Lure 1-8 oz. in fact I am building one right now. this rod is very versatile I have used it mooching, trolling rivers such as the Willamette and Columbia. the problem is the blank is hard to get takes about 3 weeks but worth the wait. I don't know if the wait is because of the demand or the problems Lamaglas seems to be having at this time. don't mean to sound like a Lamiglas commercial but I love this rod. Have not been able to find another blank matching these specs.Hope this helps.

Thanks Jerry. That gives me some guidelines on which blank to use.

The Allstar blank will troll that much weight and also a pink lady type diver.
