Blanks????????????

Hey Guys,

You guys are a really awesome source of information for an up and beginner in this beautiful industry of ours.

Doc Ski, your rod building video is hands down the best thing that could happen for beginners, especially for West Coast rodbuilders.

The reason for my post is because I am looking at "Batson" for the source of the majority of my rod blanks to build with but I'm having problems with filling a couple of gaps.

What would the "Batson" comprable blank be to a 690J or a parabolic jig stick to might be better than the 690J?

What would a good blank from "Batson" be for Flathead fishing?

Thanks,

Tony
