Jerkbait Blanks

I have a customer wanting a rod for Lucky Craft Pointer 100's and Staysee 90's. I have a few blanks in mind. Name the 3C62MXF, and the XSB783. I am wondering what else you guys have tried that you would want to fish this size jerkbait on. My customer wants 6'2" or 6'3" length.

Scott; I have a 3C62MXF that I really love, but I think that's not enough power for the 100 series pointers. I personally use a Rogue MB703 for my 100 series pointers, that I cut down to 6'7". Talk to Bobby Feazel, as he's really sharp on which Rogue blank would fit your needs.

I fish my pointer 100s on a 3C68MXF. It works great. Not sure what happens if you trim the butt on this blank to make it 6'3".

I personally would avoid a fast or extra fast blank for throwing treble hook baits like a Pointer. I'd look for something slower with a more forgiving tip like a popping blank or crankbait blank. I've used both Batsons and Castaways rom Swampland with great success.
