I built rods on both the Arra blanks and I don't 'trust' either one

I built on the 9 ft Super Surf blank for somebody who never picked up the rod and that is all I use now

Although, even that would be too light for eels I think. What might be great is the 10 foot SS rated 2-5 cut down to 9-9.5 ft.
I think breakage of the factory rod(s) is because they don't use enough guides.
