I want to build an ultra light spinning rod, 7' length, fast crispy action, casting weight about 5 grams (3/16 oz to 1/4 oz). Could anyone give me some advise on: a) which blank to use, and b) other materials best used in combination with that blank. Appreciate your replies. Re: Ultra light spinning rod

My favorite is the Batson IP 840. I'll email you the results of my first cast on the first one I finished using 4 lb line. SC makes a similar one, a 3C70ULF (not exactly sure this is the correct #) Dollar for dollar I think the Batson is the best buy. I have made three more since my catch in May. I have used both Zirchronium in SiC guides. So far can't tell alot of difference with 4 lb line. Do not recommend in heavy brush with 8 lb line.
I love it. Also used it for trout on the White River, Arkansas. My favorite. I have got them from several sponsors. Ed Smith Flat Rock, NC Re: Ultra light spinning rod

Date: November 30, 2005 05:51PM Adrian, I think I have already answered this message few hours ago but it looks like everything has been deleted .... As I said I had the same concern few months ago and I was looking for light spinning blank so as to built a light rod. I found a good solution using some Rainshadow Graphite IM6 blank, I give you below the "technical specifications" I got from the supplier. Those blanks are very good for value, do not hesitate to email me if you want more information: Ref. lenght Sections Lure weight Diam But Diam Tip Action ISP783F 6'6" 2 1/8-3/8oz. 3,5 Ã 10,7 gr 0.360 (9,1 mm) 4.5 (1,8 mm) Mod-Fast ISP784F 6'6" 2 1/4-5/8oz. 7,1 Ã 17,9 gr 0.475 (12 mm) 5.5 (2,2 mm) Mod-Fast ISP842F 7'0" 2 1/16-5/16oz. 1,8 Ã 8,9 gr 0.350 (8,9 mm) 4.5 (1,8 mm) Mod-Fast ISP843F 7'0" 2 1/8-3/8oz. 3,6 Ã 10,7 gr 0.370 (9,4 mm) 4.5 (1,8 mm) Mod-Fast I would recommend you the ref.ISP784F.
