I just ordered some finesse noodle ice rod blanks and a customer is wanting something different with an extremely slow action throughout the entire blank. "Something that is very 'whippy' ". Any guidance in the right direction where I can find a product is appreciated. Thanks in advance! Re: In search of ice rod blanks!

Just buy solid rods in whatever material you choose, can't be slower, or whippier than that. I wouldn't touch that without a supplied example of what they want, way to much room for interpretation. Re: In search of ice rod blanks!

Some possibilities:
[mudhole.com] [www.jannsnetcraft.com] [] To me, the last site looks like it has just what you're looking for. Tight Lies and frisky fish RJF Re: In search of ice rod blanks!

The UL glass rods I purchased at Netcraft in the past are what I would call "very whippy" I have a couple as samples, but have yet to find a buyer. They are way to light. I'm with Spencer. Start heavier than you expect to need and tune it to the user. Re: In search of ice rod blanks!
