New Batson Musky/Saltwater Blanks and Discontiuned blank availability

The New Musky blanks are amazing with pound break strength that would pull a truck. What does this information tell you you may ask. When we design a blank we also test them to failure by applying pound drag from the tip and pulling the rod until it explodes. Its probably not a test you would want to try at home. The tip is actually pulled almost past the butt to reach this type of failure. If anyone has ever tried to set there drags at 50 pounds you would completely understand how strong the new series of Musky blanks are and yes these would be fantastic for salt water fishing and ultimately why we redesigned them.

IMU66MHF= 35 pound Break strength.
IMU72MHF= 35 pound Break strength.
IMU710MHF=40 pound Break strength.
IMU70MF=30 pound Break Strength.
IMU76HF=45 pound Break Strength.
IMU69XH=40 Pound Break strength.
IMU76XHF=50 Pound Break Strength.

7 New Musky / Saltwater Blanks
We are introducing 7 brand new Musky / Saltwater designs for the upcoming season. These new blank models feature designs that
incorporate 3 different proprietary materials for the highest possible strength and sensitivity. We used special modulus positioning
techniques to achieve the power, action, and strength we were looking for. There are models to cover every type of Musky bait and
fishing situation out there. The blanks feature our beautiful Titanium Chrome finish. Many models cross over to Saltwater jigging and
chunking presentations and would reduce blank weight compared to typical E-glass saltwater designs.

Karry, do you have break strength rates on your other blanks? I'm mainly interested in the rclb and rcjb series.

Shoot me an email and I will send the ones your interested in. We never really documented them because we did not feel at that time it was an important fact to offer to the end users but I find them interesting personally so that's why I posted these while they were in front of me. I do have the data but will have to grab the approved samples for you. Karry

Karry that's some great info there!

How's the break strength of the old Musky blanks compare to the new?

What kind of applications for saltwater do you see with the new Musky blanks?
