I'm looking for suggestions for a 6'6" or 7' blank with the lure weight sweetspot at 1.25 oz for false albacore.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Bob,
You may want to try the b710-7 from Kencor, it's line rated at 10 to 30 lbs and is 7 foot in length. From the lures and bait I have thrown from these blanks I think its about right for what you are looking for.


Tight wraps and lines,
Wylie

The Rainshadow SW70MH would be ideal, and it's rather inexpensive.
