Could anyone give me some info on the differences between the pioneer wahoo and the gusa 8 ft. wahoo? The pioneer is a less expensive blank,is it as durable?
i am looking for a canyon tuna jigging rod.
any input would be great.

GUSA COnstruction page

The Pioneer will have less power, and a bit of a different action, due to there only being a single helix. Basically hte helix is graphite wrapped like a diamond wrap on the mandrel, prior to the graphite flags being rolled on teh mandrel. GUSA's are also muti modulus, as opposed ot the Pioneer being a singl emodulus. Tehy use different material making the GUSA blanks, which is what gives them that unique action and power. The pioneers, from wha tI have seen - are similar to a regular graphite blank from other companies.

Price difference is due to teh labor to do the dual helix, as well as he multi modulus. Right now I have 8 Wahoo's in stock, and I don't think anyone has Pioneers in stock. Unless you know somoene wiht the Pioneer in stock, you will wait quite a while for an order to be filled for a Pioneer Wahoo.
