Thanks for the suggestions...
bob i really appreciate you taking the time to compare those blanks. i am very happy with the 905 and 844's that i have. as soon as i received my 905 i mocked it up and put in another order for a second blank, and i am sure i will end up with 4 total 844's.

I’ve got some holes in my set up and working on building my saltwater boat rods.
building several MHX Saltwater rods now.
I’m building 2 of the L844 and 2 L905
And want to build another 2 -4 rods that are more powerful than the L905
There is nothing at all with any of those blanks. I’m very happy with them. And will add more over time as needed.
I’m in NE Fl fish nearshore off

So I just got a Mhx 906 today.
I cut 1inch off the tip and 2inch of the butt
Handle is drying from the glue will be a few days until the guides go on

It still has a soft tip. Parabolic action and more backbone than my 845
I feel for 1/2 oz chatterbait it should be pretty dang good.

But the mhx 874 might very wel

I am looking for a blank for a specific application.
I bought a few heavier top water lures during some recent sales.
Mainly lures from 3/4 to 1 oz. with most of them being closer to 1oz.
Within my current line up i have more MH fast blanks than anything MHX Mb 843's, Northfork MB 705 and MB 736 most of these go up to 3/4 of an oz.
I have an MHX MB874 that i am working on fi
