Tony--I think it's more the fact that it seems no two GSB blanks are alike. There much more uniformity from blank to blank in the XRAs.
One of the times you're down this way, I'll let you check out the two 120 1Ms I have. You won't believe they're built on the same blank.  |

There is a new line out from Lami, dont ask me specifics just know they are targeting braid. Felt like between an Arra & GSB.
SS something they are called. I think he said combo of glass and graphite. I should listen better  oke:
At any rate a nice blank. |

Nooo
Somewhere's around 4 oz. The cast starts to become more of a lob than a good power throw...It's not that the rod itself labors like its gonna break..it just kinda folds an does not recover so pressing it harder does nothing of good really.The same goes for my gsb also.They are equal in the top end the gsb is better in the lower end.At least mine is anyways. |
FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..

I think everyone I've ever read who knows a heck of a lot more about it than myself says to stick with regular guides!
It's not light but will be a good fit for the 250. I've got mine on a 1321L that's circumsized 4" to a 12 tip so it's more like the M. To add even more weight I had a cork foregrip put above the reel seat so I can just grab the rod above the reel. Great rod but it's a workout at times...

You don't want all wire guides. The only postive going that route is the look of the finished product.
I still use a single wire guide for my stripper though, I like the larger diameters available & the durability of a wire guide. The rest Fujis SIC's or Hardloys depending on the financial situation. American tackle has some nice guides as well. Could go with the SCUV. If you want that all metal look & still have a quality guide.

Standing on the water, casting your bread
While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing
Distant ships sailing into the mist
You were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing
