I have not used that particular blank but Shikari blanks are generally quite good. They were once a sponsor here.

Most Back Bouncing blanks have more medium actions than say, Hot Shot blanks which are rather fast. The BB 864 from Loomis is quite powerful and I suspect the Shikari is as well.

I haven't used the Shikari BB804 but it is a very popular blank to build for using large swimbaits (bass fishing in Ca).

The Rainshadow/Forecast SW967 saltwater blank in also popular in that weight range/lure size. Binghams I think has a sale on Shikari right now that would be worth looking into.
