rod blanks???

I’m still looking for suggestions on several blanks to build this winter and thought I would add a little detail in what I’m looking for ..
Flipping & pitching rod 7’- 7 ½’ stiff / MF tip
Worm rod 7’ graphite sensitive MH fast tip
Spinner bait –crank bait rod 7’ med action- med tip [fiberglass maybe???]
Price of the blank is a consideration but not the determining factor
Thanks in advance for your time

Ken,
Andy Dear had a variety of fast tipped, single piece rod blanks that may meet your worm rod requirement. Discounted to a nice price as well.

shikari shII fs764.
st. croix LE 5C70MF or loomis glx mb843.
st. croix or loomis crankbait blanks (just depends on what you want to throw) if you want a glass blank, try the seeker bs706 s-glass blank.
there are other blanks that will do the job, but these would be my first choices. good luck.

I'm really fond of the St. Croix SCIII series. For that matter, I absolutely LOVE the SCV series, but I've only ever been able to afford 1. So, here's my thoughts on the SCIII series, but if you can upgrade to the SCV, do that.

3C70MHXF--Pitching
3C70MHF--Worm rod (I'd be tempted to use the 3C70MHXF for this too)
3C70MHM--Med. to large Cranks and SBs
3C70MM--Small to Med. Cranks and SBs

Have fun.

I like:
1. FS764 in a one piece. If it will work?
2. Look at Rogue's MBH704 or the MB704 if you want a faster tip.
3. One of my new favorites the St Croix 4S70MHM. From 3/8 up to 1 ounce this one will do it. Might be a little strained with a DD-22 but it will cast it. This blank could work for almost anything in its weight range even worms and jigs.

See if Andy Dear (lamar) has any of these AllStar blanks for pitching and flipping, and cranking. I got a few from him for $12 a piece and they are really nice blanks.

Flipping: Bast907FSX
Pitching: BAST827FSX
Crankbaits: CB70M & CB70MH

The following are not All Stars;

Wormin': St Croix 3C70MHXF
Spinnerbaits: Lamiglas SSP845
Alt Crankbait (fiberglass):Lamiglas MB841E-H Got to get the Honey color ,it is awesome looking.
