Crank Bait Blank

I have a MHX CB783 that I really like for bass. I want to build another just longer. Looking to do a 7 1/2'.
How do the rainshadow CB76M compare to the MHX blanks?
Any preference one over the other? Is there another blank at a similiar price point I should consider?

mhx cb903 is the same power rod in 7 1/2'. I have fished a batson 6'6" m crankbait blank and it was real nice as well. Either one will serve you well.

Chris,
It will depend on a lot of factors to include baits, line, depth and cover you are fishing in. I have fished both the MHX and Batson's. Both are very nice blanks IMO. You may also want to consider talking with the guys at Swampland as they have quite a few options as well. Their Castaways and Seekers are GREAT choices for certain situations. Do you fish for $ or just as a recreation? Lance and Bill will set you straight with what you need.

Tom
