What size rod to buy for Steelies

[Thefisherman83]

I bought one for my dad last christmas.  Good rod for the price (around $70)  The action is a little stiff for floating IMO.

Ok, not to jack the thread, but here is what I am doing. Bobber fishing from a boat, at drano ect... What do you recomend?

10'6" loomis float series.

Ok, one that will not break me?   

If you dont go over the line/weight rating they wont break.

I don't think you need a sensitive rod for float fishing. Hell, I bet I could float fish with a 2x4

   Didnt see the me at the end.  I thought you were taking a shot at Loomies.  My bad

Not going to get much casting distance though

Nope, never.  Loomies are fantastic rods.  Wish I had not sold mine, that was hand wrapped at the old plant in Woodland.  Probably worth a mint now.

Probably, a friend of mine has one.  I keep trying to get him to stop fishing with it, but he wont listen.
