Soft plastics rod - G.Loomis GL2 or Shimano Mexican Raider 2 soft plastics

 Hi all,

I am a fan of soft plastics and would want to get a new rod for soft plastics?

how would you rate Raider to GL2?

majority would be Snapper fishing from 5 to 10 kg mark.

How does a shimano Rarenium or Stradic CI fair?
