I think the 11' one piece will be a better plugging rod than the 10' MHS, and the 10' will be a better jigging rod.

Was looking at the ratings on the Lami blank charts online. To add to the confusion, some rods rate much higher and some lower to what they are in the real world. Therefore the charts are somewhat worthless when it comes to researching lure ratings. There is not any comprehensible standard. Did I say headache!

Checked out MikeCC's one piece SSU101MHS. Beautiful rod - just what I was looking for - was very tempted to buy it except that circumstances dictate a 2 piece rod.

Mike agreed that the 2 piece SSU 10 footer is a totally different rod than the 1 piece. In fact Lami has no business even giving them the same model number.

Looking at the XS10* if I can even find any. Or maybe even the Tica TC3 Dolphin to get me through the season. Can't find those either. Oh yeah and G-Loomis Surf which are also hard to come by, and the....

*Seems to have crappy guides.

Yes, the factory XS and XRA rods come with absolute crap guides--the cheapest that Fuji makes. Lami probably saves a whopping buck a guide using them instead of Hardaloy--and on the XS series, they're not even spinning guides--they're oversized conventional ones
