I have really gotten into surf fishing for Speckled trout. I would like to hear suggestions on a blank for this purpose. I am mostly using Mirror Lures. I believe they are 1/2 - 5/8 ounce. I would prefer a spinning setup. Thanks for your input. Re: Ocean - Speckled Trout Blank

I would look at anybody's P844 type popping blank. Rainshadow, Loomis, Shakari and All Star all make similar popping blanks in the 7' fast action medium power categories. I think you'd be happy with something along these lines. Re: Ocean - Speckled Trout Blank

If you are wading the surf, you might also look into the St. Croix blanks in the 6'8'' length. Tie one with a six to eight inch rear grip-awsome for working MirroLures. Look at the SCIII in that confirguration with an extra fast tip. The fast tip will cast a lure as far as you need to and has power to spare in the butt. Post Removed

I would agree that the P844 type blanks are excellent. Do try for a fast action/taper which makes it easier to thrown the lighter end of the lure weight range yet preserves good power in the butt. If you need a tad more distance, try a P904 for another 6 inches. I've used both of these in the Loomis IMX and GL3 versions and can't speak highly enough of them. I suspect that Shikari, All Star and Rainshadow all have similar models of course. ............ Re: Ocean - Speckled Trout Blank

One other type to mention are HotShot blanks. I routinely use these on the TX coast wading for trout and reds. Very fast tips with strong bottom ends. I use a Loomis IMX but I'm sure others make similar... Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
