I don't know the Perfexion rods, but I have an old 7ft L&F Skiwave which is about a medium heavy too. Rated 3/8 - 3oz. For Bucktails though, I doubt you'd have to go too big. Biggest I've thrown is about 1oz with my Skiwave. Could definitely handle more but if you have the right line on your setup you would not need to throw bigger for more distance.

Sizes I use, either with the 7ft L&f or my 10ft Laguna. Both have light line. 8-12lb is ideal for nice distance. Try find something with a small diameter. Lighter and thinner is better. Heaviest bucktail in the pic as 3/4oz, lightest I have no idea but they all fly pretty far. Even further if you throw with the wind behind you:)
