Swimbait Slinger
I can't make up my mind on what blank I want to use for a new swimbait and big plug rod I need something with enough backbone to handle a big king or jack but still have enough finesse to work artificials and cast a country mile. Also needs to be atleast 7'. Thanks in advance for the help

I built one a while back on a batson XP 964 and it was a great little rod. Great for throwing 5" sebiles but i could still throw small baits.

Mudhole's new carbon fiber MHX saltwater blanks are a nice affordable option that is comparable to the phenix. You get the same look without the sticker shock.

This Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for an abundant fishery and a magnificent pier, from which to access that fishery. I'm thankful for the morning view of the sunrise and what a spectacular view it is...
Happy Thanksgiving!
