Jig/Drop shot blanks

Interested to see if anyone has experience with the following blanks

Batson ISB822.5 6'10" ML/XF
or
Cascade XSB813 6'9" MF RX8

I plan on building a spinning rod for drop shot and jig fishing with weights in the 1/8 - 3/8oz range

I have built a bunch on the St Croix 3C69MLXF and they are great. Check them out.

I also like the ST Croix 69 MXF for a drop shot blank. But practically any 6 1/2 to 7 foot blank rated for up to 1/2 oz baits and a fast or extra fast tip will roll up into a good drop shot rod.

Later,
Gerald Mc
