I really don't want another spinning rod. All of my rods so far have been spinning rods. I have a few boat conventional reels though. Time to try to tackle something new. I know one guy that uses conventional. He is getting phenomenal distances. He isn't using eels though.

So as it looks, the two rods I'm looking at are:
The Loomis 10.5 surf rod. The downside is the price.
The Sabre 1088. I don't any downsides of this.
The Sabre 1089. From what was said, I could rip off some eels.
Of course I could make a rod but if you couldn't tell, I'm pretty lazy. Ha ha.

Let me get some money first then I will decide. How quick does Mike usually work?

The chevron wrap isn't all that hard. I know how to do it but it is so hard to explain it. If you keep it neat and tight with a straight mind, it shouldn't be all that hard to do.

Thanks all
