MarkT hit it square on. The 690J is a 30# rod, and the ulua is a 40# rod. The more comparable 40# Calstar is the 90J. Both of those Calstars are glass rods and very parabolic. The Ulua will shut off sooner. More parabolic means it will be a little more forgiving when it comes to a backlash. But the Ulua will shut off sooner and give you more fighting power. Just depends on your priority: backlash forgiveness or fighting power. There are always tradeoffs.
