Hi folks, just wondering what would be your ideal rod for swinging spoons. I've heard great things about the Sage CT 290. Deciding between that, a lamiglas si or Rainshadow.
Also, is 9 feet the ideal length for this type of application?

Thanks in advance.

I would go w/ lamiglas. Ive owned a few and would buy more. Used by a lot of guides that i know as well. I have never had to use their warranty, but i always say a good warranty is one you don't need to use.

havn't tried that sage rod but they are usually good as well.

X2 for the Lamiglas, I've had no complaints with their rods.

I had a Fenwick elite tech 8'6" medium light rod casting rod paired with an Abu Garcia 4601.

Fun little rod that I really liked and had some fun tossing spoons at coho with. Unfortunaley I broke the top section while fighting a chum a week ago. The rod is discontinued, so Fenwick is sending me an HMX equivalent.

The fish on my profile photo was caught with a Sage 290. That is a huge Coho caught on a Skeena tributary in 2009.

I like the shorter rod with a faster action for spoons and spinners. You can really feel how the spoon or spinner is working in the water.

Sage is good. So are the GLoomis. So are the Lamiglas. It depends on your preference and pocketbook.

Lamiglas Lamiglas Lamiglas.  For spoons and spinners you can't go wrong with the Certified Pro X10 MC (10',8-12lb) and x10 MTC (10',8-17lb).  Designed for spoons.  Fast, sensitive tips. 

Their XMG and Stealth SI series have some wicked spoon rod options as well.
