DSG,

At this moment I don't have the price for the blank yet, if I know more I'll let you know.

Txseadog and I pulled on the blanks, all of the blank have a moderate/almost parabolic action and it's so lite.

Hey TJ

Looking good but would prefer a faster action / fast tiped 7ft rod for poppers,

Are you going to sell just the blanks or offer finished rods as well??

Hey Bazz,

We will have both , finished rod and blanks.
Fast taper rod is going to be hard on the angler, ask Txseadog about it. He build one Calstar 700H spinner.
Our blank will have moderate action yet have enough back bone to fish 65# spectra.
We might bring in fast action 7ft rod if there is enough demand for it.

When will they be ready and at what price ? I need a 7ft spinner to
fish 65# before the end of october.
Thanks

Production rod won't be ready by end of october. We are building one spinner that we are going to loan out on Cinco trip.

Ok.. I was just worried it would be too whippy for accurate casting with a moderate /slow action. I surely trust TxSeadog's judgement when rod performance is an issure.

If it will hold up to 20# of drag load it will work just fine and not ware you out like the stiff action of the 700H. I've already got the Broom stick action rods covered!

I'll check out the OTI Popper / Seadog special on the Cinco trip.

Thanks for the product Info.
