I'm thinking of building a new lindy rigging rod for walleyes and looking for blank suggestions. I'd like it around 7' and ML power. Most blank manufacturers make a blank that is in that length and power so just want to hear some of your suggestions. I'd like to keep it $100 or less.
Thanks, Joe Re: Walleye blank

Yes, the Batson RX7 IP842 and RX8 XP842 have been very popular.
Though now discontinued, we still have some of both in stock. The new 7' 2" REVS72ML is similar, and for a bit faster action the REVS68MXF is a 6' 8" option. And for a lower priced alternative, the ongoing series RX6 SP842 are also in stock. Give us a holler if we can be of help to you.

I'll vote for the 2 power popping blanks too, and recommend the Pac Bay Quickline QLP842 - I am building one right now - very nice - and on sale. The Batson IP842 is another excellent choice. Thanks - Marc Keep it simple - that's all I can handle! Re: Walleye blank

The Batson - Rainshadow blank - IMMP70ML -- perfect blank for lindy rigging.
I have built many rigging rods on this blank and think it is one of the very best blanks anywhere for this purpose. As Goldilocks said, in the story of the "Three Bears." Some blanks are too light, some blanks are too heavy, but Golly - this blank is just perfect. Every client, for which I have built a rod on this blank has been very well pleased with the blank choice for lindy rigging. This popping rod blank has all of the right action to make for the perfect Lindy Rigging Rod Blank. Be safe Re: Walleye blank

I have used both of these blanks from St. Croix 3S70MLF or 3S76MLXF.
It depends on how heavy or light you are rigging. I use the 7 footer for lighter rigging, smaller minnows and leeches. The 7 1/2 I use for chubs. The 7 1/2 is faster and has a little more power. See you on the water, Doug Captain Paddlefoot Re: Walleye blank

What exactly is a 'popping' blank?

A popping blank is a blank with a reasonably robust butt section, but then about the front 1/3od of the blank is made rather soft and the action on the slightly slower side.
The basic design idea of the "popping blank' is to design and build a blank that has the ability to cast a very light live bait - like a live shrimp - a very long way, but still have the ability to land a robust fish like a nice sized red fish that is found in the Bay and gulf waters. However, as others have found - this style blank is also a very effective blank for many other inland species for any time that you need a rod with a nice soft tip and especially to fish live bait gently, without tearing off the bait on a cast. But, because of the stiffer butt section, it also works well for crank bait as well as other typ lure and jig fishing.
