does anyone know this company. The blank is discribed as a DHX (double Helix). Looking at a 6' med fast. tip is 5/64 and the butt is .310, bait weight to 5/16. Im thinking about a creek rod spinning with soft baits, worms, helgrimites?

They've been around a long, long time and make an excellent product. You would no doubt enjoy that blank very much.

The C600X or the B60UL? 5/16 oz will slow them down somewhat. Angler's Workshop has both on sale.
BLS1032 is the B60UL and BLS1033 for the C600X. Nice sensitive blanks that are very tough for being high modulus. I can email the prices if you like.

I'm with Spencer - sounds like C600DHX or C601DHX is the ticket to me. Great blanks and durable as iron. They also tend to cover / handle a wider than average range of baits and line sizes...very versatile.

I have two of the 702dhx and they are fantastic blanks. One of them is Ox Blood Red. I think you'll be very please with the G-USA blank.

Doc,
Mr. Britt at Angler's might have it. He told me he had been talking to them, how I don't know.
