Why would you need terminator arms for a 11ft rod? Is it because it will be paired with a bait caster? ( not that I don't have terminator arms lol )
I only own 13ft rods ( no prob casting a weight 150m), and thought a 9-11ft rod would be okay for the bait caster. Max weight ill be throwing is about 4oz!
Shoo dont you think that 11ft is a bit long for a bait caster.
I would have thought that a 9ft would be the longest, and still be comfortable.
Especially throwing a spoon or plug.
Unless you have arms like the terminator!

What I ment to say is that for scratching a 11 foot is fine but try and work a drop shot or leadhead,that will just kill your arms!
Even throwing a plug and spoon is fine but not for extended periods.
I tried that a few times and went quickly back to my 9ft.............Note I also dont have Terminator arms!!!
See if you can still find a poseidon ultra light in casting 11'6" its very light and casts well.(2oz)
Also the Assassin light in 11'6" is also a great option.(4oz)
