i recently got the Lamiglas Super Surf rod (SSU 133 2MH) for christmas. but then i told a friend of mine and he said i should of used the GSB blank...he said the super surf rod has no backbone. hes the jealous type when someone gets something better/nicer then him. Is that true? Is it better then the GSB or stronger then the GSB blank? I was told it was. What do you think about what he said? I needed an 11 footer and this is the one i wanted for the beach and for throwing heavier bucktails while fishing the inlet...and while i have this post up, any good perks about this rod that i may not be aware about...it is the two piece rod by the way - Blank - SSU 133 2MH...any tips and anything will be greatly appreciated
