Use the calfishing "search" feature. Your exact question has been answered several times! 2-8 ozs is pretty spread out :o The Daiwa is not good for the really heavy weights. The most popular rod for your question is the Okuma.http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/descpageRDCOKUMA-OGSBBR.htmlYou'll need the XH for 8 ozs. But I think that'll be too stiff for something as light as 2 ozs? Just curious what you plan on throwing that is 8 ozs?
