Very nice indeed. In the U.K. a lot of the guys use ugly sticks, dont know what they are, but I asked the guy in Captain Fish if he sold them and he looked at me like I was from another planet.

Well maybe we can get some feedback from the boat anglers here.  What is the ideal action for a bottom fishing rod? X-Fast, Fast or Moderate?

This is what I recommended

Lamiglas NZ 102 2XH
Length: 8'6"
Pieces: 2
Line Wt: 20-50lbs
Lure Wt: 6-12oz

ugly stick is a registered name to the Shakespeare brand which now forms part of the Pure Fishing company

Thanks for that sir, as usual plenty of help and advise from a forum member.
The shop was, as Robby017 suggested, Mr Fish.

Well here is another option, this time using E-Glass, instead of graphite.  This might actually be a bonus on a frenetic boat, when the fish are biting. The rod would be more durable to knocks, sacrificing only the weight.

Blank is a 7 foot, one piece, 25-50lb line class, with a mod-fast action, and is rated as Extra-heavy by the manufacturer. Finished in Gloss Black (or pink if you are feeling different)

EVA Foam grips, Light weight machined aluminium reel seat, and butt cap (gimbal or round).

American Tackle stainless steel, halide guides (like the ones i have on the Jigging rod).

I think the above can be put togather for less than $150.  Which is the price for a Graphite blank alone!!!  If we get 2 or 3 rods togather the shipping costs would be minimal, divided between the 3.

Thanks for the compliment guys. It requires patience and cargo containers to meet these guidelines. Now I really understand why it is so expensive, custom rods.
