If you go with the Talora they are great rods.
Medium action is all you will need.
Been running several for years without a glich and fought many big Kings including a 32 + during the 2011 Niagara pro-am on the 8' 6" medium action.
A little heavy for Browns unless they are big ones in my opinion but I tend to lean towards a good battle over wenching fish in.
I run Ugly stick BWD 1101 light action DR rods for my small inline boards.
Well built and light enough to enjoy a Brown on, as well as enough backbone to handle the occasional King that is lurking in the early spring shallows.
At about $50.00 a rod they are tough to beat.
According to Canadian Senior Climatologist Dave Phillips, Lake Ontario has frozen over on two recorded occasions. The first came during the winter of 1874-75. The second came during the cold winter of 1934 (February).
Bummer.
Thanks for the updates guys.
I got to set the hooks into something pretty soon
Looks like I'll stay home and shovel this weekends snow storm and respool a couple more rods.
Good fishing

Hows the weather out in your neck of the woods?
Snow up the pooper out here.
Anyway I was hoping to get out on Seneca for Landlocks for three days this weekend.
Ramp at the south end locked up?
How about the Tagonauk (sp) on Cayuga?
Thanks for any help.

You did the right thing as far as I'm concerned.
Nice job.
Honest people are hard to come by in todays society.
Maybe notify the towns lost and found if they have one or the town cops.
Interesting.
Why did you need to send them out for new drags?
Drag washers are very easy to replace and I got 10 + seasons of heavy use on around 8 of mine with no issues.
Call a couple of long time ex Wellcraft dealers and see if they will find out who the manufacture was. If you can find that out you might get lucky and they still have some.
Thats what I had to do to get new vent window latches for my old Wellcraft 25 Coastal.
Miss that boat but had to go bigger for the business.
