i have just been informed that the SJ is probably not what im after
so down the the GUSA or the popping G Loomis
anyone else have ideas?
Hi,
looking at a few blanks for a build i plan on starting soon.
the blank needs to be able to cast 1/8th ounce jigheads a good distance and be in the realm of 6-15lb, will be casting 1/8 and 1/6th the most but sometimes up to say 3/8th or 1/2ounce
using it for snapper on plastics over here in brisbane matched to a shimano biomaster 2008 C3000. running 20lb braid and leaders ranging from 10lb to 30lb
so far ive got
G-Loomis P902-GL3 (rated to 1/4 as min cast weight so a bit worried on casting 1/8th ounce)
G-Loomis SJ843-GL3
GUSA B70M
which in your opinion would be best suited to the job?
Thanks

Thanks for that mate thatd be great if you could let me know how it turns out and performs
Cheers
i think its out of the B70M GUSA or the popping Loomis
P902-GL3 7'6 MED-LIGHT FAST 6-15lb 1/4-1/2oz
or
B70M 7' Fast Medium 6-17lb 1/8-5/16
any thoughts?
Go the GUSA B70M. I recently built a B65XH and absolutely love it. Great blank.

Have a look at the lamiglas range of blanks.Ian
Where can you buy the Graphite USA blanks? I can't find anyone in Sydney who has them.
I'm also interested in the GUSA B70M - sounds like what I'm looking for re an SP snapper rod.
Any advice appreciated.
order from therodworks.com
or there is ########.com.au
or mudhole.com
Mines finished it was spinning on the rod lathe waiting for the 2 pak to dry when i went there this afternoon i will have it in my hands friday afternoon it looks like the goods to me , hoping to get a chance to give it a run this weekend ...matt
