The pro guide surf rods are real nice, I don't think I'd call them high-end, they only sell for around a $100, but they're good blanks with nice Fuji hardware and they fish well. I've got a 9' 1-4 and a 10' 2-8, both conventional, and I love them. They're all two-piece, 60/40, rods. Penn doesn't make any high-end rods really, but they do make a lot of high-end reels.
