What blank for 10xd crankbait

Hey guys so I wanted to see what blank you would recommend for throwing crankbaits similar to the strike king 10xd. Thanks so much!

Look at the American Tackle CB710/15-30, and the Rainshadow CB80H. I've used the CB80H for several years now, have only fished the next lighter AmTack blank, a bit soft I think. I really don't enjoy this type of fishing, the CB80H has spent more time as a salmon rod.

Cameron,
we developed the CB968-mhx specifically for that application.

The Bushido CB710/15-30 was designed for the 10XD ! And from tons of testing they are PERFECT!

I've got the 986 and the CB80H. Either will do for that bait.

I have both the MHX CB 968 and the Bushido CB710/15-30. Both have very close to the same power. The MHX is a faster tip. For me, I like the Bushido better because of the more moderate to moderate fast action. At our KYRBS event, I took both blanks to Lynn Williams shop, and we compared the two blanks. When I get time to fish, I use the Bushido for 10xd type baits and some of the 2oz or less swimbaits.
