I am planning to get a custom spinning rod for casting poppers. Which rod blank would you suggest? Most likely the reel will be Daiwa Saltiga Z6500H Dogfight or Accurate Twin Spin 30. I am planning to load the reel with 60 or 80# Jerry Brown Line one hollow spectra.
Hey TJ, I'm looking at a GUSA blank. I have a Mon Mag currently and it really is light, but has a ton of backbone. It was great in handling my #100 + on the Halloween trip, just needed more drag from the reel! LOL If I don't go with that blank, I'll look at GUSA in the 6'6" 30-60 lb. range. Let me know what you decide.
Tom, At this moment I am still try to keep my option open. I like the GUSA blank, but i think it's a little to fast for Rue to handle. Something slower action like KENCOR, SEEKER new blanks OR other slow rated blanks. What reel you have on the GUSA? Anyway, Bret and I will be at BPS this afternoon, care to joint us?
I wish I would have seen this earlier and I would have gone. I'm finishing up Mother's Day stuff! On my MonMag, I have that 700TE that everyone hates! I'll probably sell that rig and work on the spinner/topwater rig before my next trip.
Tom, I think I gonna get the Daiwa Dogtooth from Japan, If you want one, let me know so we can save shipping cost.

The spinners I've made Rick have been on the United version of the MonMag 70. They have a fast action but are aren't as fast as my 700H. They also have a GUSA SW70XH / United URS70XH with a mod-fast action that's rated 30-60# like the MonMag. BTW, I'm suppose to get the a Predator blank next week for Rick's next spinner.
