I am having a custom rod built...nothing fancy nothing, too expensive.
I am going with a 7' Rainshadow blank (spinning). Medium action to throw 1 oz range lures from a boat....I have held one in my hands and really like it for the cost and feel. My question becomes what reel seat to choose and guides. I'm clueless at what is out there, the cost and functionality.
I strictly use braid. I am probably going to pair this with a Saragosa....but that's not set in stone yet either.
Any advice is much appreciated.
