looking for a good 6.6 Ulta lite blank for trout and I see that MHX makes one but has anybody ever had any problems with these MHX fresh water ultra lite blanks.

I built both the 6.5 and the 7 foot MHX ultra light spinning blanks to throw 1/16 and 1/8 spinners, but found them too soft.
Someone here suggested I try the SJ720-MHX, a 6 foot spin-jig blank.
It was shorter that I wanted, so I extended the blank to 6'6" by inserting an extension at the butt and putting the joint inside the reel seat.
Works great!

While it is 7', you might want to take a look at the Bushido SJ72/4-8
