Kudos -- a solid choice for what you described.

I think they truly are -- and you have a lot of options to make them truly special to each of them.

I've never built a rod with mono as the primary line, but IMHO a 30 for the stripping guide is more than adequate. Curious though: Is the rod with the 28"-29" reel seat the one that expects to use mono on the reel? Also, what pound test does the angler using mono usually have on their reel?
