That's the way I did most of my BFS rods. There are some nice factory ones and they are less of a gamble but when you build "that rod"...there is no other feeling

Re: Best all around action for BFS
I'm going to start by building a couple of more budget minded rods first. Maybe a couple of panfish rods before I start with a pricier blank.

When getting into UL blanks, they can vary so much...even with the same ratings.

Re: Best all around action for BFS
Can you recommend or rank some blanks that fish true to ratings. Still doing research on all of this and gathering the things I need to get started.Hobie-Wan Kenobi wrote: ↑Fri Sep 24, 2021 6:35 pmWhen getting into UL blanks, they can vary so much...even with the same ratings.

I can only use my experience with the many blanks I have used.

Primarily bass with some panfish mixed in. Would be throwing small hair jigs down to 1/16oz along with small cranks and jerk baits no more than 1/4oz. I use braid to mono leader.Hobie-Wan Kenobi wrote: ↑Sat Sep 25, 2021 8:17 amUmmm...what type of fish do you plan of fishing for? Do you use braid or mono/FC?
