Client looking for a 7' MF action MH power blank. He is casting a shrimp to redfish on 6lbs pound test. He wants a St. Croix or similar. Any recomendations would be greatly appreciated.

Mark,
Take a look at the CTS AIR series.

The American Tackle Bushido Light Saltwater series has a great blank that would be perfect for that application, the LS7/8-15. I have one set up with the Microwave 25's and it is a sweet setup!

Hi
Look at Bushido Blanks.
Built on a few now and customer feedback has been great.
Cheers

I should think you'd have any number of choices.

Great recommendation. Nice blanks.

That’s a great combination. I really like that set up with the G2 carbon fiber grips.

Thanks everyone.

As another option, you could try one of the Rain Shadow popping rod blanks, immortal or revelation. They have a MF action and a soft tip that work well for casting live bait. I have not tried a Rod Geeks inshore C2 Blank, but they have a moderate action and might be closer to a St Croix model he was familiar with.

That type of rod is my bread and butter. The Bushido LS 8/15 is a good blank for that, but for me Matrix MA-MB7/8-14 way better for that application.

Hey Mark,

I use the Bushido LS7/8/15 for a variety of techniques in saltwater. It does taper ver fast towards the tip section and will sling a shrimp beautifully. Especially knowing that you customer will be using a very small diameter line it will cast even better. I have landed some monster redfish, snook, flounder, sea trout, with the occasional shark in the mix.

Those Bushido blanks are the bees knees!
