Hey guys so for my first question, what blank would you recommend for 1/2oz or 3/4oz football jigs for bass fishing? This is a technique I have never really done. I wasnt sure if a heavy flipping stick would be good, or something a little different. Id like to build it on a MHX blank so what of those would you recommend? Thanks!
Secondly, I have been wanting to try out an Immortal or Eternity2 blank. I am not trying to bash anyone online so Im not going to say who I have been dealing with for Rainshadow blanks, but I am not happy with a few different aspects of how they do business, and I am ready for a change. I would like to hear some recommendations as to who online offers wholesale that I could talk to and try to order some of these blanks from. Thanks again! Re: 2 different questions

If you have the business license to qualify for wholesale, many of the Batson dealers on the left can set you up. I use Utmost for my Batson needs. Re: 2 different questions

Cameron,
Perhaps you are aware that Batson has experienced a delay with delivery of the Immortal and Eternity2 rod blanks in the spring of this year. Yesterday, I exchanged emails with an employee at Batson who informed me they now have both blanks in stock. As far as a dealer goes, I could say nothing bad about the excellent service I have received from Carol at Utmost Enterprises. The one aspect of their service is that they only charge direct costs on the shipping of blanks and components. I recently received 7'-6" Eternity2 blanks from them and the shipping cost was an amazingly low $9.11 from Sequim, WA to So Calif! Utmost is my "go to" dealer for all of Batson's items!

I can only echo what Donald said about Utmost. Both Carol and Mick are excellent to work with. And as was mentioned a couple of times. Shipping is lightning fast and as inexpensive as it comes. Re: 2 different questions

As for a blank for the purpose you mentioned. You said you wanted to try an Immortal or an Eternity2 blank. Why not try one for this build? I just ordered some components from Utmost and Mud Hole to build the type of rod you're looking to build. I plan on using mine for Carolina rigging, and heavier football jigs in deeper water, and the rod will also be used for pitching to shallow cover when a deep water bite isn't available. My choice of blanks was an Immortal IMMC72MH.
I'm looking forward to building and using a rod that is built on a blank that has gotten so many rave reviews by those that have used them. I can't wait !!! Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
