Anyone built on the MB 704 HM?
Anyone built on the MB 704 HM?
I'm curious about how it compares in power to the MB 705 or typical medium powered casting rods?

I have not built on the 704 but have built the 705&706. I spoke to Northfork and they called them the “triplets” saying there was practically no difference between them.. I can’t honestly tell any difference between the 705 and 706 so maybe for once I might actually agree with something that they say .

I wasn't aware of the 706...unless it's the one that's IM only. I know there's not an HM 706mobass11652 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2019 2:02 pmI have not built on the 704 but have built the 705&706.

The MB706 HM is still listed

I have a HM 704 black widow and I like it for lighter jigs t-rigs in the 1/4-3/8oz range. Its rated to 1/2oz but I think its better suited for the 1/4-3/8 range. I don't have a 705 or 706 to compare though.

I got one of each last year but haven't had a chance to build them.
The RDA powers are MB704HM 410g, MB705HM 456g.
The 704 is moderate action, the 705 is fast.

Thanks that helps! I had a mb 705 hm and loved it but from what I remember it was more medium power. I’m planning to cut one to 6’10 and build a jerk bait/finesse rod. I’m leaning 705. And that’s right I remember the 706 now, it’s the one they built for the TT search for the one blank...it was a slightly modified 705.
