I’ve got four almost identical baitcast combos that I use almost exclusively for Barra fishing which I understand to be similar to your snook. Light enough to cast all day but the blanks are a glass/graphite blend for good pulling power. I often have to fish in tight cover so 7ft rods just don’t work for me, which is why I’m quite fond of pic related.
