Hi What blanks would be good for float and fly fishing? I am thinking about an MHX ST1262 Steelhead Rod Blank what do you think good or bad?

Thanks

Are you talking about fly fishing while floating or what? I don't quite understand what type of rod you wish to build. Fly or Centerpin type?

I want a rod for bass fishing using a float and a small jig not a fly rod.

Thanks

float and fly fishing for bass typically involves a small hair or feather jig (1/16 or 1/32 oz) under a small float (typically 6 to 10 feet under).

So you'll need a long blank that can handle small weights and light lines. Fly rods are probably too soft, but I imagine some 8 to 10 foot steelhead blanks may do the trick. Figure on 2 to 6 pound test for this type of fishing.

I would use an 11' to 13' noodle blank rated for 2-8# test line.

Hey Joe
I have a CTS Float blank that may fit your needs.
It is a 13'0" for 2-4lb, 3 piece.
It has some manufacturing sanding scratches in its raw carbon finish.
The list price is over $300. Beecause of the scratches I will sell to you for $125.

Thanks Herb but I think that would be to long and maybe to light. From the research I have done it seems like it needs to be 9' to 11' and 4 to 8 lb. line.

Thanks

I also have a 9"0" 4pc that may work for you. I am on Cape Codfor balance of June. Will advise linewsightearly July.
