Bushido blank opinions

I've searched in the forum for some info but not a ton of opinions out there. Curious what people think of the bushido blank. How's it compare to mhx, batson revelation, hydra etc.?

Looking for 7 to 7'3" mh bass rod.

Thanks

I highly recommend the bushido blanks. I use the LS blanks for spinning rods. Good quality and great price. MH

Jason. Not a lot to choose from at Bushido. My experience is that they are a bit heavy.

You may be better off with MHX, Batson, or Rodgeeks . Check the specs on the various brands and go with what suits you needs.

The Bushido Blanks are not heavy, they are one of the best bangs for the buck blank on the market. The CB72/8-15 is crank bait blank is probably the best purpose built blank out there. I really like the CB78/8-15 for my Lews MB and I throw 8 lb Fluorocarbon on it. My personal favorite is the Spin Jig blank for light lines. SJ72/ 4-8 is the best small bait blank I have ever fished. The Spin Jig blanks are light, straight and strong; and they are very consistent, as each one performs exactly like the next. The Drop Shot blank's tip is not brittle like some I have built on, but it is very fast, and sensitivity is not an issue. Give them a try.

Randy, you make a good point. Bushido blanks are the straightest blanks I've ever built on. High quality product. MH

Thanks for the great feedback guys.... We are very happy with the Bushido line of blanks. We have expanded the line to include fly blanks and are working on many different models, including multi-piece.
