If $$$ wasnt an issue I would get a Super seeker.Glass at the tip and graphite in the backbone.
I had a GUSA and loved it.I lost it in the surf at LJ.It looked like a bass rod but could fish 50# with ease.I caught more than a few 45-60# YFT on it.I had to use 3/8 I.D. Hypolon to make the foregrip just to let you know how small it was in diameter.I loved it.Incredible backbone.The blank was $125 on sale at the FHS but are normally around $160.
Rods are like golf clubs.There is no "do it all model"....
I use that line on my wife a lot when I need new stuff  |
I just went and checked out those AVET "graphite" rods at big 5...man, they look and feel sweet! I even mounted up my sealine 20 just to see how it would feel. Guy at big 5 said they're 100% graphite but it doesn't specify anywhere on the rod. Anyone know anything about these?
It's the 7' 15-40# sx870 I'm checking out.
Jim, you may have to hook me up with your buddy and an NZ.
Thanks Guys!
