Rod blanks

[dante2513]

Ok need some help here from the jig fisherman out there. i am looking for blank that will fit my needs. I want a 8 ft conv blank for jigging small to medium fish, like tiles, smaller cod and such. I have a accurate 270 to put on it. I have a 8ft pac bay wraped that i have been using but the rod is a lil heavy for this. I bought 2 blanks from Kil the cosmetic 8 foot that im putting a torsa on. What blank for say fish to maybe 50 lbs max do you suggest. i like them light and not bulky. My buddy just wrapped the new calstar rods that came out in 9 foot that he cut a foot off of. nice rod but i dont think its what im looking for. I also have a 7ft 30-80 grafier wrapped that is nice but want something light. what do you think.

i just did a 7'10" batson.
worked great for seabass,
great for 6-12oz
they have a higher rated model.
light and nice power.
great for 6- to maybe 20oz

i just did a amtac prototype. 8' for exactly what you want.
the lami cgbt i use is nice for that also.
a calstar 850 or 900m cut

seeker csb909 cut..they are a little heavy,,but nice for bigger fish

how bout a honey lami cut to about 16 tip.

paul thanks for the reply, want to talk a lil about the batson, seems like what i want, i want something light that i can jig all day. thats about the jigs i will be using for the rod anyway. let me know more about the rod and price? also do you sell them?

yes i sell
i am putting a new order in now.
i have some in stock

[dante2513]

how do you think the batson would match up with a boss 270? also can it handle cod?

[paul708]

batson blank (5.30oz) rated 25-45# with titanium frame guides and cork grip i did..will go for appox 375 custom built.

i think it will be good for sm/mid size cod.
the mate thought it was perfect for seabass jigging

it is not really a steady 30#-50 cod rod.

the heavier blanks may be good for bigger cod.
blank weight 7.60oz rated 25-60#.


the 270 would be great on it.
stop over and try it.

if you like i can build one.
or
you could probably take this one
