I think graphite is your best choice for most applications, although different modulus ratings apply to different methods. I know some guy prefer glass rods when pulling plugs because they don't snap back so quickly when a fish pulls the rod down. I don't own any glass rods anymore, but I don't pull plugs much either. I still remember that pulsing feeling a glass rod has though. smile
