I'm looking for a blank to fish 1/16 - 1/4 oz jigs, 1/8 - 3/8 oz spinners, and size 7 and 9 countdown rapalas with 6lb or 8lb mono. I fish mostly for trout in rivers from a raft and need something that is versatile and accurate so I can hit those lunker zones as I'm floating by cover such as boulders, large woody debris, and overhanging cover. Distance is not an issue for me. I was thinking of trying the Point Blank 6'6" light action blank (PB661LF). Has anyone used this blank? What did you think of it?

Steve,
Not a Point Blank, but the Batson IMMWS62L extended to 6'6" makes an excellent blank for this purpose. I have built a bunch of rods extended to 6'6" on this blank and it works very very well. Be safe Re: Point Blank 6'6" Light Action Blank - anyone used it?

Roger my absolute favorite blank I use for panfish trout in the bighorns and walleye in Minnesota my biggest walleye on this rod was 27" It looks bad cause it was my first build years ago but it is the first rod I grab. I live in Forest lake, mn am I close to you? Re: Point Blank 6'6" Light Action Blank - anyone used it?
