A client has a G Loomis MBR 844C, 7 ft Hvy,Fast Action, 12- 20 lb, 1/4-1 oz rod. He wants me to build one just like it .
I need a suggestion on a blank, reasonably priced, that would be very similar. Maybe in a Batson or MHX. J.B.Hunt Bowling Green, KY Re: Need blank suggestion.

I might suggest the Batson - Immortal IMMC72M ---- 12-20 lb test line --- 3/8th 0 1 oz lure rating.
The length is 7'2". If you want a 7' rod, remove 2 inches from the butt of the rod and you will be good to go. I have had nothing but good things to day about all of the Immortal blanks. Be safe Re: Need blank suggestion.

A MB844-MHX should be just about as close as you could get. Bob McKamey Mud Hole Custom Tackle bobm@mudhole.com Re: Need blank suggestion.

I was considering The MHX as I have built on a few of the 844's but I didn't have one in my stash to compare. I do have the G Loomis in my shop.Thanks Bob and Robert. MHX it is. J.B.Hunt Bowling Green, KY Re: Need blank suggestion.

Check the American Tackle Bushido lineup. You mentioned not wanting to pay a lot, the Bushidos are great blanks at lower prices than you would expect for their level of performance. Re: Need blank suggestion.

Wish I would have saw this thread earlier. The blank that Donald mentioned is absolutely outstanding! I have a GL2 784C and the Immortal blank blows it away. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
