I use both. I try to match the fishery. When I hope to run into a nice big king or chum, I use a long, cheap, fiberglass rod(ie Shimano DR with Penn GTI320), but when I am targeting smaller coho and blackmouth I like to use a lighter graphite rod(Lamiglass with Calcutta). I just don't get any satisfaction out of pulling in a 5lb coho or blackmouth on a fiberglass rod. You can hardly tell the fish is there. I like to feel the thrashing of a coho.

Hopefully someday I will wear out my Lamiglass....that is what I bought it for.
