My favorite off-the-shelf rods and a "fast" action rather than "extra-fast" as the West Coast versions have, making them a bit more parabolic. I like them for halibut and I believe you can still get them with the cork handles, rather than the new wimpy West Coast versions with their minimal foam grips. SE Blue blanks/silver guides vs. WC brown blanks/black guides. The SE "heavy" feels more like a "medium-heavy' West Coast version, and the "medium-heavy" feels more like a West Coast "medium". An excellent bang for the buck.
