Dave thanks for the info. I didn't realize the SSU-L is lighter than the gsb. My partner wants to throw this rod in Ct waters and MV. Mainly bombers, Sluggos and SS darters and needles. As far as eels , rigged and live for sure. I will mention your advice to him. If he feels limited w/the SSU-L we will go with the GSB. He was looking for a lighter total weight than the GSB and with a quicker tip action. The light weight frame BSVAG w/ the small running guides should be OK w/ the GSB. #12 tip OK with these #10 guides?

have him look into the ssu1201m blank. it's closer to the gsb1201L, but slightly faster and lighter. the ssu1201L is essentially a rod for lures under 2 ounces to me. perfect "rebel" rod if you wanted something like that in 10'. it would make a nice sluggo rod too, but the blank does lack some of the power of others in this series.

yeah, 12 tips are fine w/ 10 runners. just use a bgst or mnst concept tip. the pst tips are too heavy, thick ringed and discontinued.
