Blank suggestions- 3/8 oz wiggle wart on baitcaster

Hello friends,
I am looking for blank suggestions for throwing 3/8 oz wiggle warts on a casting reel. I'm thinking this is probably on the light end of using a baitcaster, but I wanted to hear your opinions. I will be using it from a boat and trying to get the bait as deep as I can. Thanks in advance,
Brian

Seeker Bee Ess (can't just use those letters here) 706 SB blank
10 lb. Seaguar fluorocarbon Vis-X line
Change hooks to the XMC 7547 #6, attach the line to the lure with a snap.

Spencer’s right on point with his recommendation guys who like graphite can use the revcb70 or 76 MH. It’s surprising how hard those little baits pull.

Hello Brian -- To be able to get the Wiggle Wart as deep as you can, the further you cast, the deeper the Wart will dive to and stay down for a longer stretch. A 7'-6' CB905 or 8' CB965 MHX cranking rod will achieve that extra distance for you. Here is a link to the MHX Cranking Rod Blanks [www.mudhole.com] Thank You

Point Blank 761MF. Lure range 1/4 to 3/4, The Point Blanks are great performing as baitcasters.
