Teramar's are good sticks. What # line you gonna use?

For $130 you can get a MHX kit from Mudhole.com and it will outperform any foreign production rod under $150. build it yourself and you will have an all American product which you will be proud of. I've built several MHX kits and they are excellent rods, cast well and are very light.

Seeker Pinhead.  Finally got a chance to check one out, nice stick and one will likely end up in my aresenal.

The Teramar gets my vote.
I have the 8'6" xh and love it
on the long range boats, I have to beg the crew to get it back.
best jig rod ever and half the weight & diameter of the Calstar or Seeker

Sent from my phone cause I can

c00perfish: i have 30lb braid loaded on the luna.

Great Bass 2: i like the mhx rods but have no experience whatsoever building rods.

agarcia: ill look them up

yakhopper: i like the teramar. but i already have a fenwick 8.5 eastcoast striper rod. forget the model. discontinued. trying to keep it at 8ft right now.


thanks for all the info and advice brothers.

I'd go with a teramar or a seeker (the inshore series is very nice)

I've got that same reel paired with one of the L Shimano Trevalas-- its a wonderful reel

I have mine on a G Loomis HSR 1023C That I got from Marv luv that combo good for light rockies great for Salmon, Buttes, stripers

I have one on a loomis pro blue. Love both.  I can see if I can get a discount on one for you this weekend.

Thanks for the responses everyone. I ended up getting the okuma cedros inshore 8' XH rated to 4.5 oz. I also ordered the drag kit and power handle for the luna. Still deciding if the bearings should be upgraded. Thanks again for all the suggestions.
