Need a new rod

[doktorfaustus77]

maybe you can look for a used XSRA 1205 Lami

It'll be tough to cover all that in one stick. Lami 121 3m will do it all if you want glass.

Check with Mike at M&D's. In another thread I think he mentioned selling his SSU1201mh soon.

Id say xra 126 1mh or 121 3m. good luck. the 1205 is a little light for 6oz jigs like you mentioned.

I'm pretty sure that is gone... and if I lived in a normal house it would have been mine. Nice rod! Not what you want for a 90% heavy jigging stick anyway.

I'd second this, it's a great stick that will throw just about anything if you ask nice. Yes, it's a meat stick but you can pole vault without worry and it's lightening friendly.

Best part is you could get a custom wrapped for under your budget.

Really--it doesn't have metal guides? It doesn't have line carrying salt water between those guides? Ever hear of electricity arcing across a gap between metal conductors?

Even you are not lightning friendly. Your body is mostly saline based fluids that conduct electricity. There's no such thing as a lightning friendly fishing rod.

One of my pet internet peeves is people who suggest that it's safe to fish in a lightning storm with a fiberglass rod

I don't think I ever suggested fishing in a lightening storm.

That being said, I'd much rather have a glass stick than graphite if there was any question.

I happen to be terrified of lightening, just ask RIROCKHOUND

Thats just a blank right? Where would I find something like that? I know I didnt mind spending some money but what do you guys think about the tsunami airwave rods?
