The comfort level depends on what you decide to toss. We fish giant poppers that weigh six ounce with large saltwater gear all the time.
With the right reel and a nine foot surf type stick is killer for smoking mid sized blades, or grinding cranks with long casts to bump bottom at the base of deep weed lines.
I've got a 9 foot XH Teramar surf rod that I like better than most "musky" rods I've used for muskies.
Fishing Reapers is great with spinning gear. Doesn't even need to be very stout.
SAme goes with mid-sized swimbaits or smaller topwater lures like the whopper plopper 130.
Max size 18000
Min 6000
good luck!
