Fuji has tested TORZITE® against SiC for "toughness" and "fracture resistance" and TORZITE® has tested about 30% better in both categories. But here's he interesting thing. I have yet to see Fuji or anyone else quantify the characteristic that seems most important...resiliency. TORZITE® bounces when...

Just returned from a trip to Japan for the annual Fuji meet and greet and spent a day at the Japan Fishing Show in Yokohama. Ruby guides were on display and more stunning in person than any photo could capture. The display was a complete selection of RV's but if I remember correctly they can actuall...

Pairing a reel with a rod layout is often the difference between good and GREAT performance. According to the experts (the Fuji engineers I have had the pleasure of working with for many years now), there are three primary factors to consider in determining the "rough" layout of any rod - and they a...

The POINT Blank line pretty much starts at fast and just gets faster. With top notch transitional power into the lower section.

No problems I know of, I throw 1/4 oz jigs with this blank all the time. With a plastic grub added I'm sure I'm in that range.

I'm sure you're waiting for an "unbiased" opinion but I'll offer this anyway. I use the PB761MF with a popping cork that weighs about an ounce and the blank handles it easily. Soft enough tip to keep a live shrimp on a small treble yet plenty of power to land fish up to 20-pounds. I've also had feed...

PB731HXF, sorry.

Thanks toddmc. The PB731 trimmed from the butt to 7 ft would put you about a full power (100 grams) heavier I'm guessing. Around 550.

I'd probably drop down to the PB691MXF, 440 power. It will handle 1/2 oz.

hmmm....guess I don't see how to post an image...

https://www.dropbox.com/s/0ydywr0h359fdhd/PB701MHF.jpg?dl=0 For future reference here is the bend of the PB701MHF with 525 grams of weight hanging off the tip. The yellow tip is the production blank, the red tip is a "control". You can see from the bend that the casting load is pretty precise, occu...

Didn't mean to leave you hangin' Hog. Been in LA previewing FUJI's new stuff for ICAST in July...some eye opening stuff I can't talk about.

POINT Blank is doing fine. We have a lot of competition at the top end but "the few" at the top are quickly learning that POINT Blank is truly a different animal with a lot going for it. We have just approved an 8ft model for production that we feel will make a good "big crank" blank although I can'...

Hog, ain't nothing moderate about any POINT Blank. I certainly don't want to scare away a customer but I think Matt would agree with what I'm saying. I don't want you to expect a nice deep, smooth bend and then discover that POINT Blank is a Ferrari in the top half and a 4X4 in the butt. The numbers...

Good blank choice Hog. Send me an email and I'll save a jpg that will show the bend of the blank you chose. Not on the web yet. The 701MH is pretty stout, some have described the PB as a tip capable of throwing small lures with workhouse power behind it in the lower section. I would agree with that ...
