Closest crankbait blank to Loomis CB843?
Posted by: Michael Danek (---.proxy.aol.com)

I would appreciate comments on what blank you believe is the closest match to my all time favorite CB rod, one built on the Loomis CB 843 blank. I love its light weight, good sensitivity, slow CB action, its power which makes it a good caster with the lighter cranks, and it is in about the right length for what I want. thanks.

At least half of the popping blanks out there are clones of it.

The largest selection of remaining original G-Loomis blanks available is online at:
[www.mudhole.com]

However, the CB843 is already sold out.

We would recommend the MHX CB843 as an equivalent replacement to the Loomis CB843 plus it offers the value added benefits of the MHX blanks – lifetime transferable warranty, individual serial numbered, only available to custom rod builders, 7 point quality control, application specific models. The MHX line of blanks is the #1 selling brand of custom rod building blanks in the world – to see why, try one today at:

You might want to talk with the guys at Swampland and the Castaway blanks. They got some blanks thats all I will use for my own crankbait rods and I suggest them to whoever is looking for a crankbait rod. Its the 963, 964 and 965 XP3 blanks. And build it all with micro guides, you will love it.
