hi i was wondering how many different ways you can build this blank its an all star be845p 7' 1/4-5/8 oz 8-17lb fast action medium power rod

its supposed to be a popping blank but i know the blank dosent care what it is, iam thinking of building it into a spinning rod ,has anyone built this rod if so how did you build it , i would like to hear comments about this rod thanks in advance

Anywhere a likely glass blank would work well, such as crankbaiting or spinnerbaits.

As a Popping rod for Redfish of course. It would work well for steelhead and like sized salmon throwing spinners or spoons. Will make a nice "Do It All" rod for many fish species.

I'd build it with a 7-8 inch rear grip, NPS 18 or 20 reelseat with the threads forward for it's comfortable size and ergonmics, and a 2 or 2 1/2 inch foregrip. 4000 sized reel, Guide sizes for Fuji Alconites (25, 16,12,8L,6,6,6) the 6's are all BLAGs. Guide spacing from tip (5,6,7,7,7,9,10).

I'd also narrow the rear grip to a diameter closer to the reelseat for comfort.

thank you spoonplugger1
