Walleye ice blanks

I posted this in an old thread that didn't seem to pull up to the top of the forum so I thought I would repost In a new thread.

Looking for input on the MHX ice blanks, specifically the walleye wizard, the walleye, and the professional.
Wondering how they compare to the medium walleye sweetheart by Thorne bros?
Additionally, anyone that has used them what specific baits, jigging rap sizes, spoon weights, etc...
Looking for a 28"-30" to use with 6lb test and handles a #5 jigging rap and still has a nice full parabolic bend with a 20" walleye.

I know pretty specific.....
Thanks for any input.

Jason

Jason,
I think that any comparison like this can be best made by personal judgement.
Purchase a blank, build a rod and catch a bunch of fish and compare the rods.
If you already have a medium sweetheart rod, you can do a side by side comparison of the blanks in a heart beat to get your answers.

Good luck
