RE: What ROD do you use for 20lb
Vince,
For 20# I love my GUSA 79 Mag. but I sometimes fish my GUSA 85 XL or 15# or 20#. Acid is great but at these lighter drags either way works fine.
For 40# Calstar 765XL works great. I have one with rollers for the BFT. I also have an acid wrapped GUSA 70 MonMag that is my go too rod with a 12LT 2 sp'd, or an Accurate 665HM.

RE: What ROD do you use for 20lb
My new first stringer this season is a Seeker 220. It's glass, 8'6" and I Acid wrapped it with PacBay LCTNG guides. I love this stick! It casts a dino as far as ya want.
It's a slow action that is, IMO, kinda maxed out with 20#, maybe 25# for a little extra security on a crowded moomoo boat.
All the things everyone said about transport hassles are true.

Take a look at the 10' GUSA Surf Assassin-H, 10-25#, Moon tells me they're a kick in the pants whacking school tuna! Also, for 40# check out GUSA SW65XH or the United Rods URS65XH. Another alternative would be the Seeker CJBF65H, aka Black Steel G6465H for 40#, just a bit more beef than the Calstar GF765XL
Hana pa'a!

dude u need the long rod. all my rods i fish r 9 footers except for one 8 ft.er. if you want a nice parabolic bend go with a seeker csw907 it just has a pretty bend to it.

Shikari 8' BT-80/20 For 20#. This stick kicks a$$... A great improvement over the glas rods i've had in the past. It has some back bone to turn those yellows looking to kelp ya. I also use it for 15# with my 200TE Andy line, and it works very nice for YT and Albs...
