Are you looking for a 9ft rod?
Check out Rainshadow 1087
Lamiglas GLB1081L or XRA1083
these might do the job for you.

I suggest that you take a look at some of the rod blanks listed under Salmon/Steelhead. There are some longer models that have performed quite well for the use that you are speaking of. Especially in the 10 1/2' models. Also available in this lure weight range are some 9' and 12' models that could be listed under Spin Rod Blanks.
Most of the suppliers/sponsors of this board offer these models.
Good luck in your search, as I am sure that you will find what you are seeking.
