I'm looking to build a couple fiberglass rods to handle some serious grouper fishing in the gulf. I had a 50# rated glass/graphite composite rod explode (into 3 pieces) on me yesterday when doing battle with what I believe to be a shark. I don't wish to repeat that experience. Anyways, I was looking at the 5'6" mudhole special fiberglass blank rated for 50-100 # line. I would assume that this would be able to handle some serious grouper fishing, but was curious if anyone had any experience with these blanks???
Thanks! Re: Mudhole Special Fiberglass Blanks

You might want to check the cascade blanks they have left. I believe they may have a few of the 80# IGFA 5'3" blanks left. This should be more than enough to handle the serious grouper fishing you are talking about. I fish the Gulf (Destin area) for grouper quite often and I put together two of these blanks.

Thanks for the tip, but it looks like they are out of the 80# e-glass and I'm not going to go with another composite. I'm also looking at the Gator Glass blanks. BTW...I'm in P'cola. Re: Mudhole Special Fiberglass Blanks

Look at calstars fiberglass line, they are just a few dollars more than the gator blanks. Supposed to be indestructable. the long range tuna guys love them and so do alot of other fisherman.
I believe the gator blanks are unsanded and have a finish like ugly sticks. It may not bother you but to me seems a little cheap, and the price for their bigger blanks do not. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
