Thread: King/ Cobia Rod

Im just starting to try out rod building and i think i might get into it a lot more. Just wondering yall's opinion on the best king/cobia rod blanks and also things like plate type vs standard reel seat and guide sizes.

There are many different blanks to choose from and the particular blank can depend on the style that they angler prefers. The plate reelseat is mainly a personal preference.

Thanks Ive noticed a lot of people like the plate type. i might go with that.

If you are fishing for both then use mono, 20-25lb, my personal guide preference on guides for that size mono is 70 and 50 wire frames and 30, 25, 20 Fujis, and a size 16 tip, these large guides will help cast better with that size line.
