I have the 13' 7/8, the 13' 8/9 and the 11'6" 9 weight switch. Of the three the 8/9 is one of the nicest rods I've ever cast, the 7/8 requires slightly better timing/form to shine, and the switch is one of the oddest rods I have ever cast.
(I run various versions of Nextcast SF45's and Zones on them.)
