There are many different blanks to choose from and the particular blank can depend on the style that they angler prefers. The plate reelseat is mainly a personal preference.
Thanks Ive noticed a lot of people like the plate type. i might go with that.
If you are fishing for both then use mono, 20-25lb, my personal guide preference on guides for that size mono is 70 and 50 wire frames and 30, 25, 20 Fujis, and a size 16 tip, these large guides will help cast better with that size line.
