But will that help me when shopping new blanks?? I'm unaware of any mfgs advertising that number. Maybe im totally wrong, as i've stated, i'm a rookie when it comes to all this... Re: Common cents ?

When I complete all measurements ill let you know, maybe you have a blank out there thats a perfect match. thanks Re: Common cents ?

Casey,
I don't count pre or post whatever pennies. 300 is a lot to count. I just use a plastic cup wit a string to hook it to the rod. Weight it with anything in the cup....and use BB's for the final touch. Then weigh it on a Postal Scale to get pounds and oz. Then plug it into this conversion link and I get the grain weight right away. just an FYI..... [www.metric-conversions.org] Re: Common cents ?

Pacific Bay is using the CCS on many of their blanks, with more to come. North Fork does the same. I believe Mudhole uses it on some of their MHX blanks. And more will be on board each ensuing year.

Ditto Jim. I don't use pennys either. Just a bottle with water, then weigh it on a postal scale. Works great! Thanks, Chad Huderle Huderle Custom Rods Prior Lake, MN Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 11/16/2012 05:52PM by Chad Huderle. Re: Common cents ?

I have one of the small scales I was using to measure finish until I learned about drilling the top and using syringes. 365 pennies would have been way more than I wanted to count Re: Common cents ?

I recently took some intrinsic power (weight before converting to an ERN number) measurements on some musky blanks that are under development. I had to use all my pennies, (which I pre-bag in 50s, 25s, etc..) then all of my hangable lead weights, which still wasn't enough. I ended up using the size D batteries out of a nearby warehouse flashlight to get all the way to the 1/3 deflection, then weighed it all and converted the total to grams. My point is you can use anything that gets you to the 1/3 deflection, then just calculate the weight. The heaviest of the two musky blanks has an intrinsic power of 2160g. Its a broomstick! -The Batson TEAM BatsonEnterprises.com Re: Common cents ?

Here's a tip for those that may not have a good scale and don't want to spend a lot of time counting pennies - prebag them. I have assortments of 10, 20, 30 and 50 in small sealed bags. Used a sharpie marker on the outside to record how many were inside. For very powerful rods I might start out putting 4 bags of 50 on the rod. Whatever it takes to get close. Then I use a small open bag to put in the few cents that get things to exactly where they need to be. All I have to count are the few cents in the last bag.

An accurate digital scale can be had for $20 (less, on sale) at Harbor Freight. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
