Thread: Favorite king blanks?

How about a list for your favorite king blanks,

Would be nice to
Have a list of options when preparing to
Build a rod..

For plugs I love my rain shadow 1067,
As for working dead baits I love a noodle, lami1083

I'd love to find a similar blank to the 1083, any suggestions ?

Some of the Seeker PS90's are very close to the 1083m and you gain six inches.Wire guides towards the end hurt the action(learned that on Blane's rod so I built him another),so using two wire and four single foots is what I suggest.70mm,40mm wire and 25mm,20mm,16mm,12mm finished off with a 10(7.5) tip.

the rainshow 1027 that sheila has is great with the vs 150

I love my Gator BS596 and my Calstar 196-8. :headbang:

PacBay 1067 All day Baby :yippee: :shark

rainshadow 1027 and Batson SWB80ML is kinda tippy, it works baits fairly well

i agree with pierboy01, gator BS596 is almost unbeatable for snobbing, but for a 2oz artificial, the batson SWB80M is great, but for live bait, i wont hardly use anything other than my 9'8'' finwick

BS586 is to noodley in my personal opinion for a good spring snobble rod. The swb80ml is a better live bait blank than it is for artificials.

Ciggy has a hard time dancing correctly with a noodle.

I think I can work a bait better with a noodle for some reason
