should i go built or should i have it built? .anybody know a great rod builder, that wouldn't mind working with a greenhorn? thanks again.....
oh one more thing, it needs to be braid friendly......

Sounds like you want a Lami 1201 M, Fuji components, hardoloy guides and an SIC tip to be braid friendly. I'm guessing it should run you from $230-$280 or so depending on who builds it but I could be wrong. Plenty of good builders out there. Mike from M&D's (Cape Cod Tackle), Charlie at CMS, Mike White/Saltheart, Dave/Fishaholic 18, Dave Fontaine/Seawolf, etc.....
For the rubba like slug-go's, hogy's, surf hogs and such I like an 8' or 9' rod. Stevie Slug-go uses an 8' factory Star rod. So here you can get away with a decent 1 piece factory rod for $125 to $150 or so.
