For Fluke duty, I prefer an E-Glass rod. Between banging around on the boat, heavy sinkers in good current and braid, I've found the graphite rods to be too fragile and prone to tip breakage.
I have a couple Rainshadow/Forecast E-Glass rods that have stood up quite well. I think they are built on the SWB70H
