Hey Thanks for the reassurance Russ. I am sticking with it. You have a good point... If it turns out not to be exactly what I thought then I will just have to build another one! Part of my plan anyway.

Hi Everyone, I have a question, probably a dumb one but please keep in mind I am a newbie and only building for personal satisfaction, but what does Mag mean in a Mag Bass Blank? The more I read the more more I am starting to question my blank selection. I am starting to think this MB843-W-MHX is more like a flipping stick an not so good for casting? Am I just plan out WRONG? Thanks

Hi Don, Thanks that's really good to know. I am definitely picking this blank. Did you happen to use micro guides? Did you use a split grip? I plan to use both. I will be putting together my parts list this weekend.

Hi All, I am new to this forum so hello to all. I am about to build a casting rod. I am thinking about using a HMX MB843-W-MHX blank. This is a 7' fast, medium/heavy blank made for spinner baits, pitching and pig/jig. This is what they call a Mag Taper. I am also considering using a Blend SBB12-BLEND. This is a xfast Medium blank. Made for Sinner Baits, Popping, Live Bait and Jerk Baits.
