strike king 10xd blank

I would like to know what you guys are building up for these enormous crankbaits. I was wondering if any of the bounce back blanks i.e. BB964 would be suitable, or would one be better off to utilize a small swimbait stick?


Thanks,
Tom Kaufmann

Hello Tom.... a swimbait blank is not the choice for that application.

We have just developed a bank made for the 10XD!

We have received and tested these blanks and have a large order on the way. We are expecting them by the end of January.

I have been told by a Champion Collegiate Angler that this is "The Perfect 10XD blank"

This is in our Bushido line which utilizes Japanese Toray fibers. Ask your favorite AT dealer for a Bushido CB710/15-30.

Don, thank you for the response and I will certainly keep my eyes open in the near future. I've yet to try out the Bushido's and this may be the time to try one!

Lance I look forward to talking with you and will give you a shout on the 2nd.

Thank you to all and a happy safe and prosperous New Year to you all

Tom

Bill,

Is it safe to think the CB80H will handle the extra weight? The XD lists out at 1.92 ounces.

Thanks,
Tom
