Big crankin stick

Last night I found a BCBG846 in my garage. I thought sweet exactly what I'm looking for, but I was wrong. Does anybody know of a similiar fiberglass blank out there that has a smaller butt diameter than .810. Yet I need something that can toss DD22's with out too much loading of the rod. I looked at the specs and they are right in line with what I need. I have an MB841 from lamiglas. The specs are what I need also but when you put the two side by side. The lamiglas is quite a bit lower on power. The StCroix 1C70MM is similiar to the lami, but maybe just a little weaker in power. Thanks for your help, Bryan.

PS I'm a die hard for glass, so the graphite crankin' sticks out there are out of the question.

Seeker BS706S - perfect crankbait blank (S glass special order version, not E glass). It will fish the DD22s, but the tip will be significantly loaded. Take a couple inches off the tip to find the perfect action. Maybe extend the blank if you require something longer than 6'10".

If you need a little stiffer tip and more backbone might try the Lamiglas MB842, 3/4 to 2 1/4 oz rating - vs - the 841, 1/2 to 1 1/4 oz if I remember right. Angler's might have one on sale, I got a MB 841 for 20% off the other day, there may have been a few 842s in the rack also.

Spencer, Thanks. I am going to go with the MB842. It has the same butt dia as the 841 approx. It should work great. Thanks again, Bryan.
