Looking for suggestions.

Have been getting requests for Carpenter/Smith type rods, specifically OH55XH-S/AMJ-S52EX. Very stong short moderate action spinning blanks (parabolic is how they get advertised).

Thanks

I too am interested in an answer. Here is what I have found thus far. I have used the phenix blanks and recently found an OTI blank that fits the bill. Since neither are sponsers, please do a search on google to find their websites. Both blanks are made overseas in China using japanese materials.

Mike, GUSA is offering 3 blanks for this type of fishing, which are new to the market. I will be posting more pictures of the rods and making more comments about them as they are fished. These are Composite graphite-glass blanks with a soft parabolic tip which shuts off when a fish is on right in front of the foregrip. THE model which is comparable to the blanks you are looking at is the URJ-603 [northeastrodbuilders.com]

I am placing another order for these this week, I sold the ones from my first order a lot quicker than I had anticipated. One is being made for Kil Song, if you post on other Jigging/popping forums, that name should sound familiar to you.

Mike,
We have been testing a series of these blanks for quite some time and have recently placed them on order. They are currently scheduled to be available in about 30 days. Here are the models we have decided to carry.
