A blank is a blank is a blank. It has no idea the manufacturer has it listed as a spinning blank. It's just a tubular shaft, as are all rod blanks. So all the information the maker provides as to lure, line, etc., is what it is.

Spinning rods generally don't require quite as many guides due to the fact that the line is underneath the rod and therefore can't touch the line no matter how much flex you put into the blank. I'd start here: [www.rodbuilding.org]

I just finished a St Croix 3S66MHF2 for personal use. Send me an e-mail if you decide upon that particular blank and want the layout.

I use a saltwater spinning rod for freshwater casting, the rod and the muskie don't seem to mind a bit. Wrap it up!
