Campare these two blanks

Does anybody have a good idea of how well these two blank would compare to each other as I am looking for a good all around pitching worm jig casting rod 3/4 to 1 oz baits but more for only 3/4 oz at the most.

Rainshadow REVC72H is a Heavy/fast action blank

Rainshadow SWB70H is for saltwater and is a Mod-Fast Heavy power blank

And how well would the E-glass play into this type of rod.

you will have a better hook up to land ratio with the Mod-fast blank

the absolute last thing I would use for pitching worms or any slack line technique is something with E-glass in it

Hello Glen.

Take a look at the #'s, your casting 3/4-1oz. baits, think about it.

SWB70H Gloss Black 7'0" 1 20-40lb. 1-4oz. 0.890 11.5 MOD-F H 11.0oz. All purpose SW boat rod
REVC72H Satin Black 7'2" 1 12-25lb. 3/8-1 1/4oz. 0.550 7.0 F H 3.4oz. All purpose Bass/Jig and pig/Worm plastics/Carolina Rig

Of these two I would go with the REVC72H.


Tight Wraps & Tighter Lines.

Bob,

New Bern, NC.

One thing to consider is the actual weight of the finished rod.
The SWB is an excellent blank for many purposes, but it's weight alone is 11 ounces.
The REVC72H is much lighter (3.1 ounces) and will be easier to handle for any length of time.
We show both in stock.

Best wishes,
