ksong is on a distinguished road
I need one 80 lbs 7 1/2 ft blank.
My popping and jigging rod out of 80 lbs 7 1/2 ft blanks worked great for me on the recent Gulf Eagle trip. I lifted all blackfin tuna using the rods and it took only 2 - 3 minutes to bring 75 lbs tuna within a gaff range.
I am going to build top part of blank for short jigging rod and have longer foregrip with the buttom butt section as I feel the butt sections I have are a little longer rear grips for my taste.
