They are both quality blanks Uriel. Depends on your style of casting, what you define as sensitive, weight, handle style... these are some of the things that make rod building fun and challenging. Maybe some more info about what you intend to do with the rod?

Uriel,
Remember when you started pouring your owr plastics and you were just goin to try it to see how it went and now you can't stop. You might just as well get both blanks, especially if you are getting any kind of price breake through the class, cause once your addicted you can't stop.
