Hello All and Happy New Year.
Getting ready to start a new rod for this springs trip to Pensacola. It will be used for Grouper and AJ, mostly Grouper. I plan to spiral wrap it with roller guides. I'm looking at three blanks and would like some input. #1 Loomis Pelagic PS72-80 HVY F 60/100 #2 Calstar GrafighterGF7460HF 50/130 #3 GUSA URS60MH-T MegaHV 50/100 I'm not sure what the T is for(maybe color) I know that rollers may be a little overkill but it is my rod and my $$$ . "For me by me" Last year I built a Snapper rod and put spirialed rollers on it and got to fish with it one day the rest of the trip other prople fought over it. It had a pretty wild handle and wraps on it .The Capt. called it the Fag rod. But that didn't keep people from wanting to try it. Thanks for any ideas or suggestions Wayne Sixmile Creek Custom Rods Re: Grouper/Amberjack rod

Hi Wayne
Dont know much about the model of Loomis you listed but you cant go wrong with either of the other choices. If money is the isssue then probably the Cal Star is the best choice but I love all my GUSAs too. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
