Slow pitch blank

Hi anyone have a suggestion for a 15-30 pound slow pitch blank that can handle up to 200grams jig? I looked at the black hole one was too light the other too heavy. Thanks all

I bought a Black Diamond Hyprid, PHD 760X2H from Black Hole to build a slow pitch rod.. I'm used to using heavier saltwater rods but I can't image using anything much lighter.

I would be using This for smaller inshore fish at most 8lbs.

What are you fishing for?
Deep water around oil rigs?

It’ll give us a better idea on recommending a rod blank. With that jig, like Robert mentions is hard to use a lighter blank without knowing a little bit more info.

Ok great. I'll be fishing for black seabass around montauk. Water is usually 65-100 feet so nothing real deep. I find that if they are feeding well they will take a jig almost as much as bait. I also find I get bigger fish on the jig. I think that this slow pitch technique could be deadly for these seabass as the jig will be in the lower third of water column, where the fish are, for a longer period of time.

We'd recommend our RainShadow RCJKB series, it has E-Glass in the tip with RX6 in the bottom half. There's a few different options in lenth from 6' to 1'

You can find more specs at: [www.rainshadowrodblanks.com]

Watching the videos of people slow pitch jigging really looks like an addictive way to fish.

Maybe one of the New Zealand manufactures might have an ideal blank. I noticed that Composite Developments will be at the ICRBE and I am anxious to know what they will bring as well as CTS.

Another manufacture that might have something is Jaws

have a look at xzoga takadums, 7seas black rock V2 and matagi also carry a few. these are proper slow pitch blanks, not US models built for a different style so they are what your looking for.

I ended up getting the batson blank that was suggested but it was a traditional parabolic jigging blank. Now I ordered a CTS blank I'll let everyone know how that works out
