Huckfinn38 Posted February 11, 2022 Posted February 11, 2022 Looking to build an A Rig/Swimbait rod. I built one on a RodGeeks MKY76HF musky blank but it is heavy power with a fast action tip. I would like to build one that is weighted up to 4 oz with a little softer tip/medium fast action. Suggestions? I could build on the lighter RodGeeks MKYMHF but worry it has a faster action than I am looking for. Quote
spoonplugger1 Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 What would be wrong with using a swimbait blank for swimbaits and A rigs? Frankly mine is on a little known blank in bass circles the Seeker CSW808 Blue Steel composite S glass/ graphite blank. Paul Elias won a lot of money on this blank some years ago. Others have good things to say about this blank, just google it. Quote

spoonplugger1 Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 Like I said in the last post, it is a graphite and S glass composite blank, the S glass is put in to increase lifting power. There was 2 a-rig rods made on this blank built, a 7 ft 6 in and 8 ft version, have your supplier shorten the blank for shipping, or use another, shorter blank. You can also use the Rainshadow REVSB710MH-SB, American Tackle Bushido SWB710/12-25, or 15-30. I just think the Seeker is a great blank. 1 Quote
