Title: What blank to buy
Post by: huntley on December 23, 2021, 05:39:54 AM

I am looking at making up a spinning rod to use with a Diawa SL 20. Preferably 2 or 3 piece about 13 foot and throwing a spoon or plug of 2  to 2,5 ounces. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated

Buy yourself a good 13' carp rod, re-do the guide layout with about 10-11 guides + a tip top and you will have a winner. Promise.

I'd suggest leaving the reel seat in the high postion  as it more comfortable working lures in that you can tuck the rod under your arm. You can always change this later

Good options from Sensation: 

1. DC Superlight.
2. Rocket Next Generation (it will say Limited Edition on the rod)

Sorry to hijack, @Brandon what would you suggest to pair a Diawa GW40, looking for something for edibles, throw baits plus sliding, something in the 5-7oz 14ft or 15ft range?


What would a custom cost?
