off the top of my head I can only think of 3 pure graphite rods for the salt: Gloomis,Phenix and Graphite USA.All the others are a composite.

If $$$ wasnt an issue I would get a Super seeker.Glass at the tip and graphite in the backbone.

I had a GUSA and loved it.I lost it in the surf at LJ.It looked like a bass rod but could fish 50# with ease.I caught more than a few 45-60# YFT on it.I had to use 3/8 I.D. Hypolon to make the foregrip just to let you know how small it was in diameter.I loved it.Incredible backbone.The blank was $125 on sale at the FHS but are normally around $160.

Rods are like golf clubs.There is no "do it all model"....

I use that line on my wife a lot when I need new stuff
