9 foot blank

[clyde123]

so im thinking about building a 9 footer this winter....of course im gonna get to anxious and end up building it sooner anyways im looking for a overall cheap but good 9 foot blank it doesnt really matter brand cause im low on cash. any sugestions and or where i could buy one?

[Ditch Jigger]

Rainshadow from Batson. MSRP on the 9' SW models and the one SUR model is around $100 and you can often find them cheaper.

What are you looking to do with your 9-foot blank? And how cheap is cheap to you? Mudhole makes a 9-foot fiberglass blank that's marketed as a "Jetty Stick." At about $50, the price is certainly right, but only if it's going to do what you want it to. Even the cheapest blank, if it's not a good fit, is no bargain.

[clyde123]

this is true and im looking to throw plugs off a jetty and surf maybe some pencil popping just a intermediate rod when i dont have to bring my 10 foot im gonna check out mudhole now

I have both a Lami mb1083m and a bt1083m. Both awsome blanks and about $75

The mudhole surf rocket blanks made by Lami seem to get good reviews, Ive been meaning to checking them out. If I was gonna build a 9'er now thats probably what I would get.

 

I will second the BT1083m too, that rod can do alot, esp pencils and sluggos. it would be also be a good fit for the jetty as it can take a serious beating.

[clyde123]

does mudhole have the BT1083m? and how would you read that im a bit confuse on how to read rod blanks

[AL617]

Yes Mudhole has that blank, I think its under fiberglass boat and trolling< thats what the BT stands for. 108 is 108 inches, the 3 I dunno what thats for and the M I believe is for medium action.

 

 

Hope that helps a little, wish you were closer, Id show you mine.

thanks very much and yeah that would be better but thanks for the info

[Stumblefish]

I built a mud hole surf rocket GSB1081m I love it it is a great rod for throwing 1-3 oz plugs or light surf rigs.

[clyde123]

very nice im thinking that im gonna order that blank its calling my nameee

[BeachBob]

Lamiglas Intl. Classic Glass 9' 2pc. 15-30# line, 3/4-4oz lures, moderate glass action, brown gloss glass, it's actually a steelhead rod but bass and bluez won't know the difference. i have one on order via mud, $36.

[clyde123]

i just saw that deff my rod as soon as my next paycheck rolls around im gonna order that one thanksssss

[BeachBob]

i also ordered the Lamiglas Intl. Classic Glass 8'9" 2pc. 15-30# 3/4-4oz blank as well.

 

what the heck, $36!

[Belmo]

I don't know how, seeing as I try to keep tabs on all the nine-foot blanks out there, but the ones in Lami's Firberglass steelhead series somehow escaped my attention. Thanks for pointing them out. I'm going to be ordering both - what the hell, they're only $36 apiece - to try them out. They could make very viable surf rods. Good find.
