Picked up a blank in HP. Has all the info on it but manufacturer dark green matte model HG783. Anyone know who made it? Mike (Southgate, MI) If I don't want to, I don't have to and nobody can make me (except my wife) cuz I'm RETIRED!! Re: Blank info HG783

Mike,
I have built several of those blanks. They make a great Texas rig worm rod.They are no longer available. I have built them with micro guides with a spiral wrap. Biggest bass on one is 7 Lbs. Be glad to share my layout, etc. Sincerely Bert Nagy Re: Blank info HG783

Yes, that is a Castaway HG40. Swampland had a special on these blanks a while back and I bought a 783, 784, 805, and 2 MB784's. They all seem to be nice blanks and like Bert said, the 783 will make a great worm rod. I plan to build my 783 as a spinning rod and use it for texas rigs and small jigs. Re: Blank info HG783

I wish that I would have picked up a few more of these when I had the chance!!!! They are a great little blank and I built mine as spinners for a fellow who doesn't baitcast... he loves them!! He too uses it for soft plastics and smallish jigs. Re: Blank info HG783

Yes Mike , that is a Castaway blank. I bought 5 or 6 of them at the show. They make good Spinnerbait rods built up with Micros. J.B.Hunt Bowling Green, KY Re: Blank info HG783
