New guy here and have no big shark experience. Building one big shark rod now, with more to come. Wanted to ask several rod questions of you with much experience, before I made too many mistakes and committed to the wrong parts:
What length, brand, action, glass or graphite, of 130lb to unlimited class rod for beach fishing and why?
Guides- What brand? rollers or not or combination?
Unibutts or not? If not, what reel seat?
Any other advise/info for rods will be much appreciated.
Thanks, Sarge.

if you are going to fish beachs mostly i would recamend a rod no longer than 7ft if you are going to use a harness recamended for the beach 130 class is fine rollers are not neaded ..but if u are going to fish a bridge or pier alot a longer rod will work good

a harness is good evan when u sit down on the beach
