But what about a kelp cutter rig with only 4ft of mono or fluoro?

I'm glad to see that you got my point, of it not making it a good choice of being a kelp cutter rig; but can still be something nice to have in the quiver.

That avet rod is also a composite.When they are 100 bucks they are a good deal though

Cool, so maybe its better after all that it's not 100% graphite.
For $90 I think I'll check them out

Here's the ad on Big5's website...notice they say it's a graphite blank. I wonder if they know what they're talking about.
Here's the link in case it doesn't show in the post.
