Any recommendations? I am considering the graftech 7'8" heavy rod, but not sold on it yet. budget is anything under 300 bucks, but hoping I can keep it around 200.

Targeting the usual suspects in our coastal waters.

Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks

I use my Graftech (20-30) all the time. It’s my daily driver. Stiff enough for dropper loop with up to 10oz and I am also using it to fly line. Even on sport boats. It’s just not great caster which is to be expected.
Paired with Penn Fathom it’s a great combo. Especially for the price. I have seen them at Turners for ~ $130 if I remember correctly.

Cool, thanks for the info. I have yet to get down there and check them out, but maybe on black Friday
