OK
I'm looking for a 7' 1PC blank with a little flex in the tip for 8-15 line Guy is putting on a 14" butt handle, has a reason for it. Would be nice to have some color on it. For a spinning rod. There are so many blanks I had to ask for suggestions. He already has G Loomis so I was looking at the St Croix SCIV 4S70 It is rated as a mod-action medium and medium heavy power. Nice color. Am wondering how the tip is on this Any one use them, softer tip ??? Or any suggestions ?? Thanks guys. Re: Too many blanks ???

Rainshadow IP843. Get the green if you want something besides matte gray.

I was just looking at that blank. Love there hard green color. Plus it's a mod-fast action, must have missed it before? Like when two minds think the same thing. I'll do a little more looking but that seems to be the one I find picking the right blank to be the hardest thing. Always let my " gutt " tell me, then of course this board. Re: Too many blanks ???

I use that blank in both colors all the time and it makes a nice rod. I use the rainshadow IP842, 843, and 844 popping blanks for inshore trout/redfish/flounder rods down here on the Gulf Coast. Even my own rods are made on these blanks. I personally don't think a better value and quality can be found in a blank.

I here ya Nathan
I also am finding the Rainshadow has a mod-fast tip with a med-light power But a St Croix SCIII 3C70 mm has a mod-action with a med-power. The guy has one arm off a little above the elbow and the St Croix is a little lighter. May work better for him. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
