Default Re: What do you look for in a blackfish rod?

I look for a 40 year old hollow glass blank at the flea markets. I have found two over the last year or two that I would not change for the world. I like the bend in the old glass blanks, I feel it makes up for the non forgiving braid. I have not popped a hook on a big fish since going to these older rods.
