Hello,
I am wanting to build a rod for open water 5/8 oz rapala jigging raps snap jigging for walleye. I have always gone with the Rainshadow lines and found the IMMWS68MXF which looked to be ideal. I do how ever want to try an American Tackle Bushido blank and was wanting some feed back on the DS69/8-15 for this application as this is what they recommended. Thank you for any help on this!

As long as the blank length works without you rod tip hitting the water I see no reason not to take their recommendation. Re: Jigging Rap / Snap Jigging Blank

Im sure it will work. I'm am just trying to see if anyone out there has a comparison to say the Immortal, eternity, or even the rev blanks from Batson. Just trying to not build a rod and be disappointed and have it sit in the unused pile. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 06/25/2022 11:35AM by Kyle Simmons. Re: Jigging Rap / Snap Jigging Blank

I have only trolled curly tails on a heavy 1/2 - 3/4 oz jigheads and I used a GUSA 70MHXF which was designed as a worm rod blank. Re: Jigging Rap / Snap Jigging Blank

I have great respect for the Bushido Line. I have many different rods built on Bushido blanks and have nothing but good things to say about them! Re: Jigging Rap / Snap Jigging Blank

If you're fishing with mono for these baits (I like mono for jigging raps) the Northfork MB 733-1 is awesome with the jigging raps. I cast and vertical jig the #7 jigging raps with it all the time and again, with mono, this rod keeps them pinned. I also like it with braid for snap jigging (e.g., 1/2 ounce hair jig) when I'm casting. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
