Help with a Good Fluke Rod Blank
Posted by: Dan Hermann (---.proxy.aol.com)

I almost have my mind made up, but I want to come here for some suggestions. I'm looking to build a fluking rod to be used around the sandy hook area in NJ. A 7' rod used from a boat averaging 4-6 ozs. of wght.
Any suggestions are greatly apreciated!

Thanks,
Dan

Take a look at the Lamiglas Tri Flex blanks. They're exactly what you're looking for.

I agree with Capt. Neil as he helped me with my first fluke rods. I sed the Calstar that he mentioned and have caught numerous fluke over six pounds this last year including two over seven. I can't tell you how sensitive they are and the price isn't that bad either. Go with Calstar.
