Just wondering if anyone used the Syncork Kits I sent out last summer?

I thought it would be of interest for many to see how Gregg builds rods on Elliott Blanks. This is a 7 minute 41 second video clip. It talks about Elliott Rods and the factors of building a fishing rod.

You may consider asking yourself what do I want the rod to be good at as a starting point.

Justin if you are more comfortable with a 7 then by all means a 7 footer will do a good job for you. Consider the Elliott SJ 7ML this is our best seller as a Lindy rig/Live bait rod blank. If you want something a tad softer the Elliott SJ 7L is a sweet blank too.

Tom are you fishing for what I'd call the normal range of carp size? Say 3-15 pounds? If so the Elliott E-SJ71M-XF Rod Blank would be a great carping blank for that size fish. Not that you couldn't catch a 20 bagger on it but more made for fish to 15 lbs. I fish too fish carp (I'm a dough ball guy) and this blank is really fast the first 12 inches or so then you have a about a foot of what I refe

I fished this blank all summer and this blank performed wonderfully. This 7'1" blank is super light at 1.75 ounces with an extra fast tip and plenty of power. I use this rod for jigging, Texas rigging and twitching plastics. I even used this as a drop shot rod when fishing the drop shot in heavier cover. Many folks like this rod for drop shotting deep water too. If you are a bass fisherman

We have 2 blanks that would fit that need. The first is the Elliott E-C7MH this is your prototypical topwater rod with power and castability. The light tip casts lighter weight lures with ease, while the heart of the blank offers ample power for larger lures and shoulder-jarring hooksets. Supremely versatile, the E-C7MH-F excels for jigs, Texas rigs, topwaters, spinnerbaits and buzzbaits, as well

We know choosing a rod blank is more than just that. You need guides too. We think we've simplified the shopping and many of our customers do to. That's why we at getrodblanks.com offer recipes with each blank. That is selections of guides bundled as options with our blanks. We also include the spacing for each guide in the recipe. It's been told to me many times by relative beginners and season

The Elliott 610 is a really fun rod to fish.... it has the speed power and response for many bass tactics and it only weighs 1.3 ounces. I thought it would be beneficial for many who are considering an Elliott 610 to see it in action. Clip one Clip 2 a fish of almost 5 lbs.

You may consider the Elliott C7'3" MH-F for a frogging rod . I've been using this blank this summer and fall and I can share that it's super light weight, has plenty of power with a soft tip that casts a frog huge distances. I know I work for this company but if you try this blank and don't like it for frogging I'd be really surprised. That said if for any reason you didn't like that blank j

I'm not sure if responding to your own thread is cool but I thought I'd add that I fished the Elliott SJ 7' L-F for largemouth and smallmouth bass on a super clear lake in Northern Wisconsin the last few days. Super clear water and next to no wind meant I had to make super long casts.so I chose to use the SJ 7' for the chore. I was dead sticking sink worms in 15-16 feet and the SJ 7' could cast t

I fished the incredibly light (1.7 ounce) Elliott SJ 7' L-F extensively on a recent walleye trip. This blank did an outstanding job using 4 specific tactics for walleye fishing making this blank an excellent choice for a walleye angler who doesn't carry many rods but uses many tactics. During this trip we found walleye in what I would describe as typical walleye haunts on shield lakes in Au
