hey guys,

need your input.

with all the rods i have, i still don't have the spinnerbait rod i want.  i've got one 6'6" one that is pretty good, but, i just Want a 7' spinnerbait rod. (hey, any excuse will do when you want to build a rod. LOL)

i've looked at the loomis sb blanks, but, they're all 6'6"..  what about the 843glx?  - fast, 10-17,  1/-3/4

..or, the st croix 4c70mf?  - fast, 10-17, 1/4-5/8

or, maybe you've got a good one in mind? ...what would YOU get?

thanks

ronnie

Hey Ronnie,

If you decide to go with the Loomis blank, I would go with IMX. The extra sensitivity on the GLX is lost on a spinnerbait only rig. Also leaves $ for fancy cork, guides, etc.. JMHO

I built a spinnerbait rod using the St. Croix SCIV "Sweeper spinnerbait" model.  It is a 7' MH fast action blank.  It is an awesome blank.  I think it is the same model as you referred to.
