I completely agree on the importance of communication. We spend almost as much time consulting on a build as we do on the hands-on process. We also have a 100% satisfaction guarantee and full refund return policy.
pgersumky, what blank do you like for the swimbait rods?
2 oz is at the top of the range for most manufacturers Heavy rating. H/F should work for you. As suggested, since this is a specialized outfit, save and get the highest quality your budget will allow.
The question isn't really Loomis vs St Croix but model vs. model. St Croix's Legend Elite series is SC V graphite vs. SC III in the Avid line. The SC V St Croix rods go for about the same $ as the GLoomis imx.
I've built several on these blanks with great results. I have two for my own use. One is a H/F spiral worm rod. The other is a M/F spinning rod w/mircro guides.
I must caution you about tearing into a reel without a schematic, especially if you're not all that familiar with it. Is it just the palm side giving you problems?
We'll build you a great rod at a great price,

A spiral wrap can increase casting distance and accuracy by reducing or eliminating line slap taking full advantage of the blanks characteristics as Dan said. Combining a Spiral Wrap and micro guides makes a sweet setup.
Dual braking gives you more options for finr adjustments. I prefer centrifugal over magnetic because getting overzealous at the beginning of a cast is when I tend to get major league backlash.
