what's your lure range?

the ssu1201m really tops off at about 3 ounces. it's similar in action and power to the gsb1201L, but slightly faster and more powerful, but not as powerful as the gsb1201m. i think the ssu1201mh is a better option, but it will not PP as well as the gsb's or ssu1201m. it does, however, have better fish turning power and can throw up to 5 ounces. this is my #1 surf rod for doing everything. i always recommend a 10' rod when wetsuiting, unless you cannot find a blank that can handle the lure weight you want. for some reason, blank companies think that more lure/casting weight means a longer rod. just a note too, the second you cut a blank, your warranty from the manufacturer is void.
