Based on the calfishing rod article, posts, and immediate availability I have narrowed down my choice for a backup calico rod to the following alternatives. I prefer Calstar for a first rod, but which one of the following do you recommend as best for a second rod for Calico 555 reef type of fishing with 15 pound test and swimbaits on 1/2 - 1 1/2 oz. leadheads?

1. 12-25, 1/2 - 2, 8',heavy, fast, St. Croix TC80HF.

2. 10-20, 1/2 - 1, 7', medium heavy, fast, St. Croix TC70MHF.

3. 12-25, 3/8 - 1 1/2, 7', medium heavy, action-taper?, Fenwick GW70CMH.

4. 12-25, 3/8 - 1,7', medium heavy, action-taper?, Fenwick GTC70MHST.

5. 6 - 17, lure weights?, 8', action-taper?, Fenwick HMXT83ML-2.

Also, is the presence or absence of a trigger grip important for this application?

Thank you very much. I value your opinions.
