    Need blank advice

    Gday Folks

    I'm looking for a blank that will be used for downrigging and bait soaking in Morteon bay. Something around 7-8ft,,, 6-8kg fast action. Price around $100.

    Your suggestions welcome.



    Dave.

    Ryan It will have a spin reel on it. A bit of live baiting on the DR around beacons or a floater out the back. As for material, don't know yet, having a look around the web.

    Came across a Samurai S008, Do you have a opinion on this blank?

    Had a look at the nv8, that's getting up into the 10kg range which i have a rod for.

    What I'm trying to do is fill a void in my arsenal in the 6-8kg range.

    Cheers. Dave.

    nv7 is 6'1 could be a tad short. What difference is there between the s008 and the nv series?

    Thanks for the help fellas.

    Is there different ratings in the S008 I've found sites that says they are 4-6 kg. Yet other sites say 6-8kg. What gives?

    the RBC 008 has been renamed to the S008... same blank, direct from the wholesale catalogue 'Soo8 = 6-8kg' i tend to see 20lb braid run over them MOST of the time...

    Decided on a Matrix blank AMMBC843.

    I emailed ozrods and within 20 mins i got a reply, Simon doesn't stock the emerald ones, so the order is in and should be here from the US 7-11 days. Then the fun starts. Which reel seat,which guides,which grips,what color thread AAARRGGGGG.

    Looking forward to it though, been a while since i built one.
