JM Blanks From Kil

[paul708]

Thanks Kil.

While i am waiting for the NEW OTI Blanks to show up,

We were going thru invetory and,

I was out of some JM blanks.
Kil was nice enough to send some 500g my way.

I have a pretty busy day building tommorrow, finishing a few rods up and starting afew new ones.
So i will be around the shop all day.

If anyone want to stop, feel free. I can take a few minutes out to show you around.
Or
If you want to watch the builds for a litle while..that would be fine also.
Not to long, gotta get stuff done.

The New OTI stickbaits are here,


And, still have some SWEET poppers, the Mahi is awesome

The wave dancers look cool. Sort of like orion lures or something.

One day I might have you make that jaws blank into a popper. But a but rod is so much easier on me.

[paul708]

yeah, they are pretty nice,

also had a 350g in with the 500g's

[Sea Draggin]

That 350g jigging master will fish a lot bigger than it is, plus you can use a lighter jig and still load the rod. Thats a good one.

A tutorial about the different action of JM blanks would be helpful. The standard blanks you have are faster than the powerspell? Correct? Then there are all the other models with different actions. I'm just not sure.

Jim.. have you had a play with the new JM 3kings special yet?A lot faster in action than the powerspell models.Very nice to use though

Thats part of my issue. There are photos with way more weight than I will ever pic up, you know extreme testing shots.

But pictures of a powerspell, 3 kings, plain blank like paul showed above loaded with 20lbs would be awesome.

People say "I want a JM" and builders go these are JM blanks. However they are not all created equal. I'm not looking to buy a brand name to be cool. I want action.

Its like saying I want a toyota. And someone offering a civic and saying its a toyota, when you want an accord.

I know what you mean Jim. The AG boys wanted a rod that had a little more backbone to it and be able to jig a greater range of jigs weights, thus the 3 Kings model,faster action but heaps of backbone(i think the 350 model can deadlift 35kg) and be able to use 200 to 500gm jigs easily.
ChrisW would be able to shed more light on this model,i only had a quick play with one a few months ago and never got to really test it properly.It felt good to jig with though
