Offshore rods?

[Kevin Bogan]

Hey Skipper, what makes the BEST offshore rods?
Well for 30's 50's 80's you need : Aluminum Butts! Straight through rods with SLICK butts, just don't work. Look at how many of them, well.,.,. just break!
What are SLICK butts good for? Stirring a big pot of soup I guess.
What type of guides? SKINNY CHINESE GUIDES?
NO WAY Hosay! You need SIX BRACE HD GUIDES, or SG TURBO"S,
and a WINTHROP ROLLER TOP> THE WINNTHROP TOP/SIDE LOADED WILL NOT LET THE BRAID TO GET CAUGHT IN THE ASSEMBLY!
WHY NOT A FULL SET OF WINTHROP GUIDES?
GOOD IDEA, JUST COST A FEW BUCKS EXTRA!
CALSTAR ROD BLANKS?
OF COURSE!
HOW LONG WILL THESE RODS LAST?
25-30 YEARS OK? NO ROD ANYWHERE WILL OUTLAST OR OUTFISH A FISH POISON ROD!
