Could someone from NFC post posy the blank weight of the new Stinger NEO blank (MB765 X-ray NEO)? Are other lengths planned? Thanks!

I would assume its the same as the regular xray mb765 neo - 3.19oz

From what I could tell the only difference was the color of the zentron

It’s got fiberglass, that’s usually heavier. Thanks for the reference regarding the regular MB765. This might be a little more weight than what I was hoping for.

If weight is your only concern, you are going to miss a lot in rod building.

Tournament fisherman. We make a LOT of casts in a day, and several days in a row. Weight makes a lot of difference for some of us.

It's on par with other composite rods. Total finished rod will weigh under 5oz. Similar to a Shimano expride 72mh-g.

John, You bass anglers aren't the only cowboys in the rodeo, but you seem to think other forms of angling somehow have it easier, multi-day angling is the norm for anyone who travels to fish, in Alaska the sun never sets on some of us.

Just saying. There is a specific purpose for rod builders to build specific ways. I’m considering this rod for deep cranking use. There is a specific reason why the people I build for and myself would absolutely want it as light as possible. Not sure of why you’re criticizing how some rodbuilders are choosing their priorities. I never said anyone had it any easier, just pointed out why WE were looking for a specific thing… only prompted after a condescending remark about being weight conscious. If I read your tone wrong, I apologize, but that’s how it came across. All I was asking for is a weight for a blank.

What blanks do you typically use for deep cranks?

I have the xray mb765 neo cut down to 7'3" waiting to be built and it weighs 2.89oz just as an fyi.
