I am lost on this one and only know to ask the guys that have helped me before!

I have a customer that wants a spinning rod made to order that will compare with a Dobyns 7'6" 765SF in action. With that said, he wants 7'6" heavy action with a fast tip. Will be using it for Bass in California, fishing grass/tules, ect...

My problem is, he needs it light weight, he is an older gentleman with shoulder issues and the weight is very important. I was looking at doing a Phenix k2, but not sure the tip will be fast enough. I have built a few spinners from casting blanks without a problem, but at different powers. I also looked at the Batson IMMC76H or MH, again, but am worried about sensitivity.

The biggest concern is this will be an expensive build that will be a one of a kind and want this guy happy to say the least. What ideas do you Guru's have for me?

Thanks,

Lee

Lee,
I'd take a good look at the MB905-MHX or MB904-MHX, both light weight and balance very well built spinning.

Todd,

How is the castability of that blank? This runs into my issues with this build. Kinda have to have it all, Strength/Sensitivity/Lightness/Castability. I use a ton of MHX blanks, mostly the HM models, how is this blank compared?

Lee,
what is he going to be throwing with it?

St Croix 5C74HF-B
1-piece med heavy 7'4" fast castng blank should do the trick.
Light and sensitive

Plastics, jigs, frogs, in major slop, but will be casting. he has to set down

thanks Gene, I'll look into that blank. I haven't used many St.Croix, but know they have a good reputation.

the customer is leaning toward the Immortal Series RainShadow, IMMC76H but he is scared it's going to be a broom stick with NO flex. Anybody tried these yet? I know they are new and I have not used them.
