Scotch,
Some real good advise here.
Seawolf pretty much nailed it. It all depends on where you going to fish, and what your going to fish. Some setups are better suited for certain applications. Conventionals are a neccesity in the surf. I am not sure how guys fish live herring or jig the ditch without them, but on the other hand, I rather hang myslef than have to deal with a conventional in the middle of the night when the wind is honking form the south and your trying to toss a plug out there. Everything has its place.
Ask some of the guys that build rods and see what they recommend for the areas that you fish and the conditions you will be fishing.
Oh yeah, although he can be a bit tight lipped, Seawolf relly knows his stuff and builds one hell of a rod. This is one he built for me last year, and I have three more on order. Man I hope the wife doesnt read this.
