Need Help Please First wrap; Inshore Seeker Rod

[EricM]

Hey guys,

Recently decided to get into rod wrapping and have some questions about my first rod for inshore calicos.

I'm looking into the Seeker Inshore Series blanks because I have always loved Seeker rods, but which would be best for what I'm looking for?
1. LONG, love long rods for far casts
2. Fast taper; good for swimbaits and bouncing fish on deck
3. 20 pound test line

Based off of that, the CSW 908 and CSW 809 match the best. Has anyone used these blanks or can offer any information on them or similair alternatives?

Got the grips and seat all picked out, but what about guides? Size, shape, brand?

Any help? I'm very new to this and know that these are broad terms, but can ya give a noob a hand?

There are lots of guides out there to choose from these days. Can ya let us know what your budget on the guides will be?
