Everybody builds their shark rods differently... Bridge and pier fishermen tend to have long butts (2 to 3 feet) for leverage. Short butts on the beach for a harness or long if you like burying the butt in the sand. Guides make a difference in weight and action sometimes. Some people do full roller guides and some do none. Some people do spiral/acid wrapped rods. It's all on what you like to fish with. Check out some of the older posts on here, plenty of examples on rods and such. One example I can tell you is a subject I put on here one day titled: Best rod bend.


Just an average fisherman.
