    rod blank

    Ok need some help here from the jig fisherman out there. i am looking for blank that will fit my needs. I want a 8 ft conv blank for jigging small to medium fish, like tiles, smaller cod and such. I have a accurate 270 to put on it. I have a 8ft pac bay wraped that i have been using but the rod is a lil heavy for this. I bought 2 blanks from Kil the cosmetic 8 foot that im putting a torsa on. What blank for say fish to maybe 50 lbs max do you suggest. i like them light and not bulky. My buddy just wrapped the new calstar rods that came out in 9 foot that he cut a foot off of. nice rod but i dont think its what im looking for. I also have a 7ft 30-80 grafier wrapped that is nice but want something light. what do you think.

    I recommend GLoomis or St Croix blanks. They have very nice blanks for 40 - 50 lbs.
    Many really like Calstar Graphiter, especially rod builders as Graphiter is very strong and inexpensive.
    MY custom Calstar 700XH weighs 19.5 oz, but the rod is the heaviest jigging rod I carry and I rarely use it. Once you use Gloomis or St Croix (especially Legend Premier blanks), you don't want to touch your Calstar rod.

    i just did the batson ISWB
    nice, light.
    for small and medium fish they are nice.

    the stcroix muskie blanks would be light and good for this.
    also there is a SW series that would be good.
    either would be good for the 270reel

    i think a muskie type blank is going to be your best bet, especially if the GF is to heavy.
