Seeker ULUA 93H Vs. Calstar 690J - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

One of the biggest difference in Seekers vs. Calstars, is that a Seeker blank will "lock up" before it gets to your grip, the backbone of the rod will kick in sooner when the rod is bend under pressure. A Calstar is designed to flex throughout the rod, and into the handle. In no way is that a bad thing, I personally love Calstars and own several. Just my $.02

You can't go wrong with either!

And as for the line class, you can get away with 30#, but the 40# is more preferable since the mono needs to act as a shock absorber when the fish hits like a freight train.
