bass & redfish fiberglass

I am trying to find a blank that can handle jig and pig for bass fishing that would also hold up and be able to throw lures for reds from a kayak. Prefer spinning tackle and anything between 6ft and 7.5ft. All recommendations accepted including the ones for a non fiberglass rod lol. If its gonna get real technical, a stradic ci4 3000 will be used with 20lb braid.

I don't think you "need" a fiberglass blank. IMHO any bass blank rated for your needs should handle the reds (assuming you aren't talking big ones).

I'd call Alex at Hydra....or the guys over at swampland.

Russ in Hollywood, FL.

Hydra offers a 6 power popping blank in 7'5" length that should be the perfect answer. I would steer away from glass.
