Dave I live in Erie and I build a ton of rods on the RX 7 9' and 10' 7 WT Blanks.. I have a few guides using them and that seems to be all they ask for... As far as the Blank Nagy recommended I have built 3 of them and while they are a good rod for Erie keep in mind not all fisherman will like them They are really whippy..... I even had one customer ask me to sell his after using it
