Tautog blank recommendation

[James3shin]

Been a long time since I’ve posted...Sadly, I just lost my dad to COVID and want to build a togging rod on his behalf. 
 

Apologies if my writing is all over the place but I’m just thinking of all the memories of going fishing with my pops. The man loved being on the water and despite being in his 70s, he was still going out to the bay 2 days a week.  I remember we used to get up at 4am to drive 45 min to catch a tide.  I honestly don’t remember how many fish we caught or got skunked but I remember our routine of stopping at the 

 7-11 for coffee and then the bait shop. We’d be back before noon to do the weekend lawn work.

 

Before his passing, he was getting very interested in togging and I was thinking about booking a trip with him in Delaware or NJ...not being able to make this one last trip hurts. He was into fishing gear but when it came to fishing, he kept it simple and would often just drop bait. Sorry for the wall of text...just to keep it simple like dad: What’s a blank for togging in DE or NJ?

So sorry about your loss. Rodgeeks Xcomp is THE rig rod.  733/803 will cover all the bases. Happy new year

Thanks tbush - looking into the 733.

No messages here, email xlrods@yahoo.com. YOu can google or FB search that blank, there have been a ton of DD fish caught on all the XC's. Which doens't mean anything, lol. I've sold hundreds of these blanks and rods, and there were no negatives from anyone when using it for a Blackfish rod.

I just built a jigging rod with American Tackle blank. AXVJ7020. Have not fished it yet but inexpensive blank intended for fluke, Black Sea Bass and Tog.

Very sorry to hear about your dad. Stay strong bud.

Century Pro Togger should definitely be something you check out.

Where are you located?

I came down to Maryland to be with family but I've been in the NYC region for the last 4 years. So far I'm looking at the XC33, AVX and I'm now looking at the Century Pro Togger

Caught a lot of blackfish , seabss and a few cod on the xc733 in montauk this fall. Absolutely love that rod for tog. Have also caught stripers in the 40lb range with that rod.
