Paul, Are you talking about the blanks that are listed? Are completed rods listed there as well? I just picked up a 975ld that I want to put power pro on for clams/bunker for mostly stripers off my boat.

I Highly recommend the Calstar Grafighter 700L 15-30
rod. I use mine for chunking and the Old Grounds too. Started going to them a few years ago after breaking a couple G.Loomis saltwater series. They are light wieght and powerful and I also have a few tuna rods made with the Grafighter blanks. You Guys mite want to chunk with a good mono line though. Save the Power Pro for bucktailing and deep bottom fishing.

St.croix premier series-6'6" med/heavy fast action graphite 17-40lbs.The 7' will handle
anything in the bay but still light.I own 8 and
