If it were no financial obligation, I would huck both of them into the garbage can and return to my old ways: Shimano Stradic 2500.
Regarding line, my favorite line for float fishing currently is P-Line's Hydrofloat. Surprisingly, the Okuma Celilo in the 4lb - 8 lb version does not "suck" like the heavier versions of this rod. I'm not a fan of Okuma, but I must say that they did a superb job on this rod.
What is your current setup?

Thanks for responding! I am using a Okuma SST-S-962L with a Shimano Sahara 2500FE. I am hoping Santa will bring me a Gloomis 1141S UL and pair with Shimano Stradic 2500 FJ. I am also a Shimano reel guy at the moment. Nice job on your site and Happy Holidays!

12/15/2013 5:57:00 PMRight on comment about the Celio, I have the heavier one, kinda clunky, but ok for float rod-pretty indestructible. Several options out there similar to the pLine,am running power pro blue which is good, but double uni to 15 lb leader then to 8 or 10-12 lb fluoro even for winter runs, got two fish last week in clear water that way

Bank Drifter: Your line setup sounds about right! Keep up the good work in the low and clear. Thanks for sharing.
KFish16: An interesting question you ask... Feel free to personal message me!
