salt water spinning blank for jerk and twitchbaits

What blank would you recommend for fishing 1/4oz to 1/2oz jerk baits and MirrOlure MirrOdine twitchbait lures in salt and brackish waters for Snook, Redfish, and spotted sea-trout? This would be for a 7' to 7'6'' spinning rod.

I'd rather be catching!

I just finished a rod for the same exact purpose yesterday except I would want to use some topwater baits with it too. I did some research and I chose the mhx hm-mb843. And I really like it so far, I haven't got the chance to fish it yet but it feels like it would do the job superbly. I paired it with a penn clash 3000 and 15lb power pro super slick and it casts extremely well with a half ounce weight. Check it out [www.mudhole.com]

I built a Rainshadow IP-843 for the exact same thing and love it. You might look at Rainshadow IMMP-70M.

PB701MF is a super all around blank for trout and redfish. I cast grubs to 3/8oz, Zoom Fukes, Mirrodines and the small Skitterwalk with the Medium Fast POINT Blank. Have to take 2 with me on every trip so I won't have to change lures so often. Come shake one at the show.

Mr. Jim,

Glenn here from Louisiana Gulf Coast. Thinking about rod building. Where did you buy 701MF?
