Blank for Stream Trout

Post by d510addict »

Hello,
I'm looking for a blank for Rainbow/Cutthroat/Brown trout fishing. Mostly using hardware and small Rapalas in small to moderate streams. I would like something 6 ft or less and around $50 usd or less.... This will be built as a casting rod. What are your thoughts?
Thank you

For this budget it's hard to find something ...as an option,check blanks(or rods) from aliexpress.

Rainshadow has RX6 and Revelation in that range, as does MHX. There are also a slew of E Glass blanks front every manufacturer, just have never handled those blanks. It doesn't have to be some insane JDM thing.

Please have it spiral wrapped, whatever you choose!
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

Look into some fly rod blanks and possibly cut the bottom to get to the length you want.

Which flyrod blanks correspond to which lure and line class? Thanks
