Looking into a casting rod build for strictly 1/4oz cranks. I just built 2 bushido 78 1/4-3/4 blanks and their awesome but 1/4oz cranks are a bit much for this blank or i should say just slightly not enough.

Thanks for the quick reply and info. As stated I just stumbled across this blank I'm open to other suggestions. I'm a croix guy but lately feel the rods are not giving me the feel they use to. I've looked at the 7'6 ml and m croix models as well but never owned either except a 7'm scv and a 7'm legend tournament factory rod.
