Oldschool solid fiberglass, heavier, cheap, nearly unbreakable. New scool hollow graphite, lighter, exspensive. What do you all prefer and why?
it all depends on for what type of fishing your doing
Yeah I know there are several factors that you have to account for. I myself like the solid fiberglass blanks ranging from 7-8 feet. I am actually in the process of building an 8 foot solid glass shakespeare blank 
. An employee at one of the local shops around here keeps trying to get me to go to graphite but, I can't help but to keep going back to the solid glass rods. I myself have never fished with the new hollow glass blanks. Maybe if I did I would like them. I just learned how to fish using the old solid glass rods. Ohwell if it's not broke don't fix it. Anyone else?
I am looking for an 8; solid glass rod as well, can anyone point me in the right direction?Trying to duplicate an old Star Rod Delux 121 (which was made with shakespear solid blank)
Hi Guys:
Me,! I'll stick with Harnell/Harrington blanks. Those blanks are the best that money can buy.

I like Calstar and Seeker. The Super Seeker is a composite blend and fairly dense, they make some nice sizes for sharking too for those who want a medium length rod like the 6'3 xxxxh 80-150lb and the 7' 3x5 unlimited blank.
