Sorry, I have only just seen this.
Being a complete lure nut (Not for game fish these days but Pike, Perch, Ide etc) I have a collection of lure rods that would scare folk
You need to consider what lures you will be using. If fishing Rapalas, I would have said go for the lighter rod.
If using Blair spoons, Tobys, Flying C's etc, then the heavier rod.
