I need guidance on the following, I'm building my first salt water trolling rod. It'll be light duty, mainly Spanish Mackerel and the occasional summer King.
Need help on: 1) What is a good 6.5-7 foot 30 lb. class blank 2) What brand and line of guides to use and what size 3) What reel seat to use I figured I would use 12 or 14 inches of hypalon for the butt and a 4-6 inch foregrip. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks Re: 30 lb. Class Trolling Rod

1) Seeker CLB 704
2) Fuji NSG guides are perfect. 20,16,12,10,8,8,8,8,8,8tip (need lots of guides near the tip) 3) Fuji heavy duty graphite size 22 Re: 30 lb. Class Trolling Rod

I'd also look closely at the CalStar 660 series and focus on the L model..
Stuart Tuff butt (full unit with tube and swagged seat)'' 14" foam foregrip. Spiral wrap that with American Tackle BGSG 20 16 16, 12, 12, 10 and a tip and you're in business. You can also subsitute an All American Roller for the first guide and the tip top in black frame / gold rollers if you want. Easy construction and nice peformance. Re: 30 lb. Class Trolling Rod
