Rebuilding it with light guides (I use T-LCSG's on mine) will improve it a lot....when I originally built it cone of flight with standard sized guides I hated it.

Agreed. It is not a canal rod. I've hooked and landed 30-pound-plus fish on it in the ditch while the tide was moving, but there were times I thought I was going to be finishing up the fight with half a rod.
As I said, it's my main rod. I take it wetsuiting, along open beaches, rocky shorelines, just about anywhere but the canal, and I can't blame any lost fish on the rod's relative lightness. I straightened out a 1.5-Ounce Jetty caster on a fish with the rod in an effort to keep it out of the rocks, so it definitely has some guts to it.
