OK, Lets try this again. I am looking for a 2 pc. fast action blank for plugging. The lure ranges should be 1/2 - 2 oz. Sorry if this is a repost from yesterday, I screwed up with my login.

Thanks

Tony

Tony,

St. Croix model 3C90MHF2 would be in the range of blank you might be looking for.

Welcome back. Take a look at salmon stealhead blanks and fly blanks can be used. Just change the line weight to lure weight Think you were looking for 9 footers?

Hi Bill,

It is best to leave the search as simple as possible, then click on the column heading to sort by that value.

In this case, we would just type in 9 for length (leave off the ft sign ') and 2 for piece, click search then sort by lure weight. Because not all manufactures start with the same lure weight (1/2) in this case, you might miss a blank that has a 5/8 lure weight rating.

If you get to many results, add an additional constraint, like "fast" in the action selection and search again.

We hope this helps you and others use the rod blank search engine - we have found it extremely usefully tool.

Thanks,

The All Star BESP1087-2 blank would also make you a nice rod.

i have one right here.

it does not show on their wsbsite but in the real world it is pg 52 part# 296-212

the tip is a little crooked(1/16") but i have seen worse on this type of rod. on the other hand the finish is very good.
