Who from the list of our sponsors has a good selection of fiberglass fresh water crankbait rod blanks ?

Give anglers workshop a call. 360-225-9445.

If you wanted to consider a Composite blank, give Scott at Fishsticks a call. He has the Lamiglas Composite crankbait blanks that I build alot of. There light and the glass tips are nice. You can also get a 17 reel seat on them. The Glass crankbaiters I have built these for really liked them because of the weight and diameter of the blank without giving up the soft glass tip.

It is impossible to make anything foolproof, because fools are so ingenious!

We carry the full line of Batson blanks, including the Glass SPG series, and the "Universal" RDR70M, designed as a Downrigger/Trolling/Live bait blank which is a Glass/Graphite blend that loads nicely with a 1/2-5/8 oz lure and has a moderate top of the blank action with some Graphite backbone in the lower half. It and the much lighter action RDR70L are sleepers in the blank specialty area.

IMO the best fiberglass crankbait blank is the Seeker BS706, give Karen a call at Bingham Enterprises last I knew she had them in stock.

Good luck.

I'm with Stan. i love that BS706 blank...but Ron is right, that RDR70M is a sleeper. I ended up with one on accident last year...built it just to get it out of the show....that thing is a great cranking stick.

Stan for you!

We will have one of the Seekers built up at the Show for the "Old Krankers" and will have a stock in the Swampland Booth.

Take a read on this -

All in fun!

If you want to catch fish with Kranks try the Castaway XP3 963 for little movers, 964 for Traps and the 965 for deep divers!

We will have one of each built up with reels for anyone to give a test fling at the show. The Seeker, The Castaway and Even the White One!

If you ever have the opportunity ask Boyd this question:

Who is considered the very best fisherman among the Elites?

He will fracture you with the funniest story you will ever hear!
