Am I asking the impossible?
A blank to suit - 8 foot, 2 piece, 20-40lb, Spin-Jig type blank, for tackling large pelagics off the rocks - Kingfish, etc? Thanks for the advice R Re: Blank selection help

Hi Robert,
There is one blank that comes to mind but it is only rated up to 25 lbs. The blank is a Batson SW967F, 8 foot, 2 piece. I have built two for my son and daughter-in-law to fish the salt in Northern California. I really do like these blanks but I wouldn't want to haul up a fish up on the rocks. How high are you fishing and could you net the fish? Look at the Batson web site under saltwater blanks for more info. Cheers, Ellis Re: Blank selection help

Robert,
Lamiglas does have a heavier blank rated 65 to 100# and is 7' 6" long. An easy way to find a Lamiglas blank is to use my web site. Click on Length & Line. Those are the sort orders. The site does not include bass or fly blanks. [www.donstacklehawaii.com] Hope it is helpful, Don Don Becker Re: Blank selection help

I've worked with databases for several years. So it's second nature to put the information into a database and generate the required web pages.
