I would love to hear thoughts on these two options for throwing 5" senkos and lighter crank baits. How do the two blanks compare in general? Re: LP843 vs XSB802.75 for light casting rod?

The XSB model you mentioned is pretty quick - but it's a beautiful blank. I don't know the other one you mentioned well enough to comment, but I doubt you would be disappointed in the XSB!

The XMG 50 popping rod blank is a x fast actioned blank, but a bit lighter in power overall than the XSB spin bass blank you mentioned. Re: LP843 vs XSB802.75 for light casting rod?

I've got a XSB802.75 blank on order that I plan to build as a spinning rod and would guess that it will similar to a St Croix 68MXF for power. I'd suggest going to a store to see a St Croix rod in the 3,4, or 5 series of that blank to see if that's what you want powerwise. Batson also offers a 6'8" XF Walleye blank in their X8 series that's rated just a bit lighter than the XSB802.75

Why not consider an XP842 or XP843? Both would be great for Senkos.
The XP842 might be a little light for bass-sized crankbaits though. The XP843 may cast the plugs further, but this may also depend on your casting style. Lamiglass also has equivalent models to the Batson's, one of which you have already listed. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
