2 blanks 1) for live baiting walleye 2) senkos

looking for 2 blanks (1 if possible)

1) for casting 1/8-1/4 jigs tipped with crawlers or leeches around weedlines and drop offs for walleye. most of the fish are in the 15-18 inch range so can be somewhat lighter. 6-8lb mono. casting distance can sometimes be an issue.

2) unweighted senkos - same general area. lm bass. 8-10lb mono or light braid.

what do you like best?

as always, thanks for your help

Jay

Seams a little work and THOUGHT like Steve did and he has a blank that fits both the lure weight -- and line

I love it when a plane comes together
