Thread: 7 1/2 to 8' spanish blank ideas???

Can anyone suggest a longer Spanish blank in the 7 1/2-8' range? Will be used to throw spoons, bubble rigs, gotchas, Looney jigs, etc. Will be used with a 4000 series stradic. I was considering an IP964 or a 7'11" bass crankbait blank.

Thanks in advance!

Price range for the blank/build? Power and action?

Not terribly concerned about blank price. Just the best options for a longer than 7' Spanish blank.

i have my Stradic 4000FJ paired with a stock St. Croix Mojo Inshore 7' 6" ML Fast Action. Works great for me.

I have mine setup with a stock 7' 6' Mojo med and a Stradic 5000 loaded with 195 yards of 12# Vanish . I most often use small lys . Works great and will handle just about anything . Especially keeping spanish away from sharks . I would go a little lighter if not for the sharks . All personal preference really .

I still swear by MHX inshore blanks. Strong, quality blank at a good price.
