right on fishslayer, right on!!! can't go wrong with either of them, that's why it is one of my favorite set ups that i use for 80 percent of my saltwater fishing. i have used it a heavy freshwater trolling and catfish rod too! works great in every application i have put it to. i went to the site you suggested. man, you can save some money wrapping a rod yourself. especially if you have a little time to do it right. i wrapped a rod in highschool for panfish and trout. it was a great rod and was only 4 ft long. it was a noodle. so much i fact that if you has a trout that weighed more than a pound, you had a battle of your hands. i paid only $25 dollars in parts and stuff to get it the way i wanted it. the lake where i used to fish they regulars always wanted to try it out, and one guy offered my $100 bucks for the rod. i didn't take it because i loved that rod. it didn't last long thought because an idiot friend at the time tried to bend it tip to butt like you used to see in the uglystick adds. after doing that numberous times it shattered into four pieces. he ended up giving me his loomis out of guilt. i was pissed because the rod couldn't be replaced, but i still came out ahead with a rod that was worth ten times what i paid for the broken rod, until the next day i broke the loomis while setting the hook on a bass.
