Hi,
I come to you for a little help. I try to find a blank for zander, Soft bait, shore. Lure 1/8-3/8oz or 1/4-3/4oz (5-8g to 20-25 g) something close to this. Size : between 7'-213cm and 8'8-264cm I previously find the NORTH FORK COMPOSITES SJ 703 XRAY. I heard it's the must have. But for me, to be honest, it's a little bit expensive. Something really sensitive, with resonance, to be able to detect the most delicate bite from zander Can you help me to find something in my criteria? I would really appreciate it. Thank you in advance :) Valentin (Sry for my english, I come from Belgium ) Re: Rod for zander

Valentin,
Take a look at the American Tackle Bushido blanks.... there are quite a few that will fit in what you are looking for. I personally would look at the SJ series. _______________________________ God Bless, Don Morse 800-516-1750 ext. 1207 / don@americantackle.us Rod Building..... It's What We Do. Re: Rod for zander

Any 7'-7'6" Batson M fast action blank should work Re: Rod for zander

Rainshadow has the Immortal walleye blanks, I'm told a similar fish, dealers in France, Germany, and Poland. Looks like they have a 218.4 cm and 228.6 cm versions of the lower power blank. They have always been fairly fast to get with me via email on my questions. They may have a suggestion for the other, also you may get some good info from your dealers in Europe. Edited 1 time(s).

If you plan to use your sense of touch rather than rod movement to detect bites then using gel-spun polyethylene line, pointing your rod directly at your bait, and feeling for the bite will probably be the best plan. A light blank is more comfortable to hold but guide size and placement will be of little importance using this method. If you plan to use rod movement to detect bites then low-mass gel-spun will still be your best bet for line and the lightest, most flexible rod will be ideal. I imagine you will settle on some compromise, and you alone can best determine the best compromise between sight and touch. Re: Rod for zander

I plan to have the most sensitive blank, I mean sense of touch. I don't need rod movement detect. :) Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 11/10/2020 03:06AM by valentin sgarbi. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
