8ft Evergreen Combat stick. It was modeled on that old Steez. Might not be as refined but good bang for the buck

I will throw in the Steez AGS 7'9 Extra heavy. Punches with up to 2oz no problemo.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I figure I will pick up a few different rods and figure out what works the best for me. I will keep you posted on the rods I pick up and test out.

ST. Croix Legend Elite EC711HMF

Awesome rod and comes in at 5.8 ounces mine is paired with a ZILLION 10.0 SV TW
How's the balance on that thing?
The combo balances out really well.

Look into the Liberty punching blanks. I got an 8fter and cut it down to 7'8" that seems to be doing the trick. Plus you can weight the butt end to have it balance properly.
