Marty,
I have built several rods on the Immortal Immws62L walleye blank.

I built these rods to be used for walleye fishing and they work really really well when using them with jigs in the 1/16th - 1/8th oz range.

When you compare this rod to the St. Croix 5s66MLF blank, you will find that the IMMWS62L blank is a blank that certainly flexes more easily, but that does not mean that it is not a wonderful blank to be used for this weight range.

When these rods were used earlier this year by many folks that I had built for on your spring walleye trip, the users all commented on how physically light the rods were as well as how tough they were to be able to handle fish ranging from 2 oz Sun fish up to 10 lb Northerns.

For comfortably fishing with jigs that run light, they really excel but still do a great job when catching the larger fish.

p.s.
I had extended all of the blanks that I used to be 6'6" long so they all were the same length as the 5S66MLF.

Be safe
