I have a guy looking for a 7' MH fast blank for musky. He says 3/4 -2 oz max. Mostly live bait. He has some anger towards st croix, so a blank geeks is out. anyone have something that may be in this realm? I've seen a 7'6" blank from Tackle industries but I have no idea the quality.
Thanks as always for the help.
Mark.

Point Blank from AnglersResource. 77 degrees CCS is on the hiigh side of fast, but it's not radical. Many blanks described Fast are in the 75-77 degree range. I wrapped a Point Blank around my trolling motor last year and was amazed that all the damage I had was a coupke bent guides, so I'm convinced these blanks are tough. I have never heard anyone say that they didn't like their Point Blank. I have two and have made two for my son, all very nice rods.

For the length and power you describe, almost any Mag Bass blank in a 6 power will do really well.

[www.mudhole.com]. All I use are this series MHX blanks, although I use 8', 8'6", and 9' sizes. They are wonderful for muskies.
