Blank suggestions for Glide Baits

I have a customer that is wanting a 8 foot to an 8.6 rod. He will be tossing huge glide baits. 6 to 12 oz.
Focus is on Spotted Bass with an occasional striper mixed in. A Mag heavy fast will work.
Thanks !!

Sounds like you need a swimbait blank, made or sold by many to the left.

I throw smaller ones and feel that a moderate-fast action is best. A moderate action may hook up better, but it isn’t going to cast as cleanly as a moderate-fast one with such a heavy lure. The North Fork Composites SWB/MUXH809 seems perfectly in the wheelhouse.
