Capt Neil Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 Hi all, Has any one tried cutting back the tip of a Lamiglas GSB 1362 MH to produce a rod to throw bunker heads and up to 12 oz sinkers? This would be a spin rod rather than conventional. Or will this blank throw bait n 12 witout being cut. Thanks in advance.

gadwall8 Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 I think Mike Lang has a 136 2MH that he chunks with, you want to PM him. I fished my 122 1MH (extended to 11' 3") last night for the first time, 10oz and a big head barely put a bend in it I bet the 136 2MH will throw even more, just TommyTape some guides on it and give it a toss. There's hardly a better feeling than the one you get from raining fish parts on France gad "I came into this world naked, screaming at the top of my lungs, and covered in someone else's blood. I got no problem leaving it that way."Who can hope to be safe? Who sufficiently cautious? Guard himself as he may, every moment's an ambush.

bunkerhead Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 I have a 1362 and it will throw 12 and a head w/o being cut. Heavy shock leader of course. I cant imagine cutting this blank to make it any stiffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surflion Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 You plan on throwing 12oz with a spinning rod. You must have a fingers made of stone. I have a hard time throwing 6oz and clam with a 50# shocker without losing the end of my finger. I'm making the switch to conventional for bait.

Capt Neil Posted July 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 Hi guys, Thanks for the replys. The customers ask and I try to comply. You can't believe some of the requests!!!! I will build without cutting the tip. I am told you need at least 8oz to load that blank. I appreciate all your help as you guys fish these blanks and know their capabilities. There is no way I could know all these answers unless I spent 12 hours building and 12 hours fishing the blanks. Thanks again, Capt Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary T Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 Cap. 12 hours building em and 12 hours fishing em sounds like a plan to me. Gary [irish Red] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
