Looking for a surf blank 11 to 12 foot for using 5 to 7 ounce sinker plus bait for obx drum around Duck area .
Right now I have an Allstar 1266 for light bait or throwing metals so I need another rod to handle more weight when those ideal drum fishing north winds create a strong current. Right now I am considering Seeker 2 peice surf ssu105 which is rated 4-8 ounces but at 10.5 ft so I would want to extend it. Or Seeker ssu120 which is 12 foot but is only rated 3-6 ounces.Could I trim it down just a little to be able to have the sweet spot weight higher? Also looking at MHX Euro Catfish rod blank that is 11 foot and 4-10 ounce range. Thanks for your help Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 02/17/2014 03:08PM by David Miller.

But I may need to request some of these blanks to be brought to the expo.
I am excited to go as this is my first time to the expo. Re: Going to the expo which surf blank would be best for me to check out?

Rainshadow su1418f is an old favorite on the banks that meets your spec Re: Going to the expo which surf blank would be best for me to check out?

I will check out the new Batson too.
How does the 1418 compare to the 1386? Re: Going to the expo which surf blank would be best for me to check out?

I have built on both,for your app I think the 1418 is a better choice, maybe a tad heavier but a nice slightly slower action that keeps bait on the hook. fwiw that is usually the first rod/ most used rod, out of my rack. considered a "light heaver" by many it is still a very easy rod to cast.

Thanks for the help!
Not too worried about rod weight as this will be used mainly for bait and wait. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
