Chris, when I made rods commercially, we offered a custom build service. I made up two identical blanks, 9 ft, for a 6 weight. One was with single leg Fuji SiC's, the other with Snakes. The Fuji rung one was noticably softer and *floppy* compared to the snakes. Also, the line tended to bunch when trying to shoot line any distance, even though the eyes were of a good size.
I decided to re-ring my Beast rod, 10ft 3in for a 10 weight, with snakes after discovering this, and I found it much easier to shoot an extra 5 yards of line.
But.....each to there own I guess, :O)
