SJ 736 is a deadly Texas Rig rod. Mid sized jigs too

Went with the MB709(HM) instead of the SJ736.

It was highly recommended as a frog/pitching rod. I am going to extend it 3".

I also grabbed a 693 Delta. Rated 3/8-1 ¹/⁸ and weights 1.9oz....for $31 bucks it made it the cart.

If you guys are fans of the sj736, you better look at the sj725. Awesome Texas rig and jig rods!

Is the sj736 too much for a spinning tube rod? I usually fish a 3/8oz jighead plus plastic

I recently purchased some blanks during this sale. There are a couple that I bought on a whim and I was wondering if anyone had any input on them.

One is a SB 683 X-Ray and the other is a SJ762 HM. I'm waiting for the blanks so I haven't had a chance to get a feel for them. I have a 5 other X-Ray blanks, but this is my first HM. Both will be spinning rods, but I'm not sure what I will use them for yet. I have some ideas for the SJ762HM, but I have no idea what I'll do with the 683 X-Ray (I just thought it would be fun to try something new).

If you have built on or have any info/opinions on either blank I would appreciate your thoughts. I probably won't build them until the fall/winter.

Thanks

Have you tried the soft grip seats, mine just came in and I'm wondering how they fish since my builder is in quarantine?

I've tried the soft grips on several rods.. they work just fine.. both types of grips are very nice...
