Has anyone built a casting rod on the NFC Flip 764-1 (HM) blank?  I think it might make a good crank bait rod.  Any opinions?

 

thanks Brett

I would pick a swimbait blank over a flipping blank for that.

What size crankbaits?

I was thinking about large crankbaits like the 4.0 Strike King square bill or so

I recently finished a build with that blank and like it a lot. I'm using it for tossing a Texas rigged Cut-R with pegged 1/8 oz. weight.

 

I haven't used it for big crank baits but I don't see why you couldn't. It ain't your typical flipping broomstick 😉

 

Have you looked at the APFG786-1 or APFG787-1?

@BassinBrett i haven't used that blank, but from what I've heard, and it's ratings compared to the 4.0SK I don't think it would be comfortable to cast. That square bill is almost 1 oz. I might be wrong but I feel like that would cast kinda sloppy on that.

 

A Lotta people like the MB765 Neo for big cranks. And like @BayouSlide said the AFPG Has a great reputation for that too
