Any MHX Blanks FASTER than HM-P903? Fastest MHX?

Of all the MHX blanks, which is the fastest? Especially in the HM line?

I haven't built on all of them, but the popping blanks in either the regular or HM line are the fastest I have used.

The HI-Mod MHX Popping blanks are much faster than the MHX Popping Blanks. If you are looking for the fastest tip flex of all MHX blanks, that would be the SB-812 or HM-SB812 MHX blanks, which has a extra fast tip.

Thanks for the reply Bob. I have the Batson RX8 802.75, which I suspect would be pretty close to the SB812. I am looking for something a bit longer, but still fast, for throwing the light jigs from the shore of the inlet, so probably the HM-P903 will be the ticket.

Actually Todd Vivian just brought a blank to mind that I totally forgot about. The HS981-MHX should be a extra fast model that will be what you are looking for. If you want to shorten it, you could take 3 to 4 inches off the butt or the full length will provide distance.

Just looked at the HS981 in your catalogue. Looks nice. I'll look them both over.
