Just curious, any of you guys use any 12ft rod?I use an abu gracia enticer , toss out with ghost minnow n sit back drink a beer.Is the strike more fun with the plastice bait ? Sorry hellbender didn't mean to hijack your thread. I think sonfish would be your best bet to reply on this one.

FTU's black surfblanks are clones of he Harrington blanks...and you can get them in houston.  Those 542 blanks aren't cheap from what I can remember. They are nizzice though!

thanks for all the replies,looks like its gona be trial and error,no easy ansers.
i dont want the top of the line stuff or break the bank just decent reliable equipment that will perform pretty close to the high end stuff.
saw some stuff at academy that looks decent ,i may just start w/that and go from there.
by the way when you guys talk about "blanks" what are they?

best rod at academy is tsunami trophy series or something....under $100 and tough rods, just a tad on the heavy side. I had one of those until SOMEONE left it at the dam after we left, came back and someone already got a free rod compliments of me.
I don't really know what to type here.
