Mark, I think you will find that the LR88 is the updated version of the LR86. With some heavier terminals on the baby runbohs to weigh them up a bit, you should be able to work the lure without much trouble. Only thing is that it might become a sinking runboh instead of a floating one. There is also a Ripple rod for shore casting, maybe some other members can shed more light on that rod for you. If you do search the forum, I'm pretty sure this topic has come up before.
Cheers
