Looking for blank recommendations for Great Lakes salmon trolling rods. More particularly: blanks for pull
leadcore and planer boards. Thanks!

I built 2 wire dipsy rods last year using Rainshadow SW967F blanks. Would suggest the slick butts also.

Would also suggest Rainshadow BP1025F. Going to be my next build for boards.

I agree with Bill in the BP1025F for board rods. They are pretty good for rods when running light lead cores up to heavy copper lines.
