check out gccr.com.au distributors for both the japanese Seed jigging and popping blanks and the Hastings range from the USA. In Hastings there is a nice line of well priced mod action jigging blanks, if you're after a 5' then the URJ 500 would be the go, 5' long rated up to PE8 and 13kg drag. the rest are all 6' long but being 1 pc plenty of scope for trimming. graphite based so light, powerful and durable. Seeds are all mod-fast in action, various lengths from 5'6" up 1pc and offset 2pc. specialist japanese blanks so you'll know they'll be the goods
